AGFL parser generator system tips:

* the command file "setagfl.bat", located in directory "agfl_2.2\bin",
  is used to define the required environment variables,
  and should be run prior to using the AGFL system.

  The default configuration looks for the AGFL system
  in c:\agfl_2.2 and it's subdirectories.

  If AGFL is installed on another disk and/or in other directories,
  edit "setagfl.bat" and modify the values of the GENBASE symbol
  to reflect the actual location.

  E.G., if agfl is installed in subdirectory
     d:\information_retrieval\linguistics\agfl_2.2
  then the GENBASE variable should be defined as
     SET GENBASE=d:\information_retrieval\linguistics\agfl_2.2

* check the "ggl_alphabet_docu.txt" file in the alphabet subdirectory
  to find out which character translations are possible for words in the
  lexica used.  

* A description of the AGFL formalism and sample grammars can be found on
  our FTP-site: ftp.cs.kun.nl/agfl.

* After creating an AGFL grammar text file (e.g., "mygram.gra"),
  it can be compiled by means of the "gen" command:

    gen [<options>] mygram

  When no syntax errors are found, this will result in an executable

    mygram.exe

  Which can be called as follows:

    mygram [<options>]

  The system will then respond with the input prompt ">>".
  Texts to be parsed can be entered at the prompt (">>").

  Typing the <enter>-key at the prompt will end the parsing session.

  A full list of "gen" options can be obtained by entering "gen -h".
  A full list of "mygram" options can be obtained by entering
    mygram -h

* the C-compiler, include files and libraries that form part of the system
  are limited in functionality and can not be used for general purpose
  C program development.
