FYI: Software on Michigan Linguistics Fileserver

Directory

1. , Software available on linguistics.archive.umich.edu

Dear Colleagues,
Having recently updated the index (00index.txt) files on the Mac and DOS
software directories on the University of Michigan Linguistics Archive
(linguistics.archive.umich.edu), I thought it might be worthwhile to
post them to LINGUIST all at once. As the collection increases, I hope
to be able to post updates from time to time.
All of the software here is available via anonymous FTP.
*Brief* instructions:
 ftp linguistics.archive.umich.edu -- to connect to the archives
 <log in as "anonymous">
 <give your e-mail address as your password>
 cd linguistics -- to get to the linguistics archive
 cd software -- to get to the software directories
 cd mac -- to get to the Mac directory
... or ...
 cd dos -- to get to the DOS directory
 ls -ls -- to see a list of files
 (binary) -- in dos directory *only*; to set up binary transfer
 get <filename> -- *exactly* as in file listing; Unix is CaSe-SeNsItIvE !
 -- Repeat "get" commands as needed
 quit -- to log off
If you want more information on ftp, let me know and I'll send you what
I have available. However, your best resource is your local system
guru, since installations vary considerably.
If you have software you'd like to make available on the archives, put
it in linguistics/uploads *AND THEN SEND E-MAIL TO ME ABOUT IT*.
(I won't put anything in the archives without information about where it
comes from.)
By the way, there's a lot more on the archives besides software.
Check out linguistics/papers, linguistics/papers/available, and
linguistics/handouts/syllabi, for instance.
We welcome contributions and suggestions.
Cheers,
-John Lawler <jlawlerumich.edu>

Index of Mac software on /linguistics/software/mac directory:
 (/linguistics/software/mac/00index.txt)
This list is intended to include all and only the files within this
directory. You may find that some of the paths listed here do not point
to this directory. That is ok; the physical paths are given here but
there may be a link in another location.
If you find any problems or you wish to add to or change the
descriptions given here, please do not hesitate to write

 downloaded in TEXT mode. You will need the indicated compression
 utility (CompactPro or various flavors of StuffIt) to decompress
 these.]

 [NB - All DOS files except those explicitly marked as "text" must be
 downloaded in *BINARY* mode. Do a 'BINARY' command before doing
 an FTP 'GET'. You will need a ZIP utility (PKZIP is the most
 common one) to decompress these; self-extracting archives are
 DOS programs that unpack themselves upon being run.]

 IT, interlinear text processor, version 1.1c. For developing a corpus
 of annotated interlinear text. The centerpiece of IT is a program
 called itp -- an interactive and automated interlinear text processor,
 which retrieves interlinear word and morpheme annotations from an
 on-line database of lexical information which it maintains. Produces
 ASCII files useful for concordancing, indexing, or display formatting.
 Also includes a collection of other software tools which support the
 conversion of conventional texts to interlinear text format and which
 support the maintenance of the auxiliary lexical database files.
