This piece of software allows the user to create lexicons for English
(and other languages) suitable for use in natural language processing
systems.  In addition to simple look up, the system includes a rule
driven morphological analyser.  Thus words to be held in the lexicon in
stem and affix form (e.g. "move", and "ed", "ing"), and the
morphological analyser can segment given full words into their basic
components (e.g. "moved" to "move ed" and "travelling" to "travel ing").
thus cutting down the number of required entries in the lexicon.  The
work is done within the framework of general feature grammars
and two-level morphology.  The system runs under Franz Lisp and Common LISP.

The system includes the basic system and a sample set of user files
that describe a significant subset of the English Lexicon.
