                  NATURAL LANGUAGE SOFTWARE REGISTRY

The Natural Language Software Registry is a catalogue of software
implementing core natural language processing techniques, whether
available on a commercial or noncommercial basis. The current
version includes

+ speech signal processors, such as the Computerized Speech Lab
       (Kay Electronics)
+ morphological analyzers, such as PC-KIMMO
       (Summer Institute for Linguistics)
+ parsers, such as Alveytools (University of Edinburgh)
+ knowledge representation systems, such as Rhet
       (University of Rochester)
+ multicomponent systems, such as ELU (ISSCO), PENMAN (ISI),
       Pundit (UNISYS), SNePS (SUNY Buffalo),
+ applications programs (misc.)

This document is available on-line via anonymous ftp to tira.uchicago.edu
(IP 128.135.96.31), by email to ········@tira.uchicago.edu, and by
physical mail to the address below.  If you have developed a piece of
software for natural language processing that other researchers might
find useful, you can include it by returning the description form,
available from the same sources.
