I have a now fairly extensive LFG system, called KLU, for the Mac, which
I'm more than happy to share, but it requires a fairly expensive licence
for Prolog II+ from PrologIA, Marseille, France. This is, however, a very
stable, fast and well-developed Prolog, and I would say it is well worth
the investment for anyone even dabbling in compuational linguistics.

My system was developed mainly for exploring issues in morphology, and it
implements mechanisms for word segmentation, allomorphy and semantic
analysis. Allomorphy and semantics are done in Prolog. If there is
interest, I will have the sources and documents installed on our web site.
Having been developed in the French department of a German university, much
of its documentation in German, the (small) grammars we have are for French
and Italian -- and the errors messages are sometimes in English, French or
German.

Greetings, Bruce
