Actually, I rather like those Unix tools. vi is the only thing so far that has given me half a chance of editing the Unicode-characters-within- a-regular-text-file format that Toolbox seems to want. I'd rather have a hex editor though... may have to see what's available in FreeBSD's ports section... On Wed, Sep 01, 2004 at 02:45:19PM -0500, Mark P. Line wrote:

Ok, I can see where this thread is going *sigh*. Let me try to turn this around a bit. I'd rather use MySQL to Toolbox any day, but I really like that auto-interlinearization thing, if I could just get it to work. Short of me learning Python and reading Kura source, does anybody know where I can find an algorithm to parse text into known morphemes? How do Toolbox and its ilk do it? Thanks, Amanda
