malsym - compile a Malaga symbol file

SYNOPSIS

malsym symbol-file

malsym extended-symbol-file -use symbol-file

DESCRIPTION

Malaga is a development environment for natural-language grammars based on the Left-Associative Grammar formalism. Malaga grammars can be used for automatic morphological and/or syntactic analysis.

The program malsym compiles a Malaga symbol file. Give it the symbol file (suffix .sym or .esym) that is to be translated as argument. If an extended-symbol-file (suffix .esym) is to be compiled, you must add the option -use.

See info Malaga for details.
