Re: TECH: Sound Change program

I got in on this thread late, but I would like to point out that
everything mentioned here, plus more features that nobody but me seems
to need, is possible with the Perl module Lingua::Phonology. Of
course, the Phonology module has the disadvantage of being much more
complex, hard to work with, and broken in the most recent release
(although the brokenness is not my fault--XML::Simple stopped
working), and I haven't had time to work on it in over a year. And it
requires you to code hardcore Perl. But in principle it can do all of
this, plus more.

If I ever get the time, I could write a simpler command-line script
using the module as a backend that would do something more accessible
to the common man.

Sorry for the shameless self-promotion.
