This directory contains a tar file containing the code for a chart
parser as described in Natural Language Understanding, 2nd edition.

It is written in standard common lisp and should run under
most common lisp systems. It has been tested with Allegro
common lisp, both on UNIX-based Sparcstations and on MacIntoshes.
More details on the system can be found in the README files
contained in the directories.

To install the system, you will need to ftp the file "parser.tar.Z"
and then decompress it to obtain a tar file, which can then
be used to create the system. Under UNIX, you do the
following:

   uncompress parser.tar
   tar -xvf parser
