Does anyone know of any text extraction software and/or educational
examples written in Lisp?  I need to do some template-filling type work
from both semi-structured and plain text sources.  There seem to be
multiple ways to hack something using either a pattern matcher, rule
engine (lisa), regular expressions, or syntactical parser (like the
PAIP or trains parser) but it would be nice to be a little closer to
the finish line.

I know some of the early research systems of this type like SCISOR were
lisp based but they seem to have gone the way of all software without
ever being made publically available.

Thanks for your help.
