Question about Brill's rules

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Gaby,
     You can ignore this warning message.   In fact, training with  
Brill rules ends up producing more inaccurate results that training  
without Brill rules, so I have stopped even considering using Brill  
rules.  It is possible that they are useful for some purposes, but I  
haven't found them useful for what we are doing yet.  I see that your  
database is called eng.db, which indicates that you are using a  
version of MOR that is at least a year out of date.  In general, we  
recommend continually updating both CLAN and MOR.  Updating MOR is  
important because I made significant improvements in POST first in  
March and then later in June.
