I should add that this is similar to my request on this list a few  
weeks back. The ability to output feature structures, in any format,  
to the standard output would be a welcome improvement of LKB. This is  
particularly missing for the 'batch processing' option. Running LKB  
from the command-line, reading a grammar and a file of input  
sentences from the standard input and printing structures to the  
standard output would be ideal for me.

I'm running LKB on a Mac, and unfortunately I can't even run it from  
the command line, let alone disable DISPLAY.
