Ok, I have another link for you guys. Incase you haven't noticed, I'm trying to get everyone up to speed on the tools out there. One at a time is ok by me. This link is to the "link42.zip" file. Nowhere near as big a program but it's very powerful. An example of its output would be like this. You enter a sentence like: " this program is very powerful. " and it's output is like this: ++++Time 0.16 seconds (0.16 total) Found 1 linkage (1 had no P.P. violations) Unique linkage, cost vector = (UNUSED=0 DIS=0 AND=0 LEN=7) +---------------------Xp--------------------+ +-------Wd-------+ +-----Pa-----+ | | +--Dsu--+---Ss--+ +---EA--+ | | | | | | | | LEFT-WALL this.d program.n is.v very powerful.a . This is interesting only to know that words in sentences CAN be linked using program rules. If you know what all those links above are, then you will know the relationships between the words and a program can act on them. I don't think I need to say much more than that, but I don't like this program as much as I like the word net. It does however, come with a windows api.

I can run it from Liberty Basuc 3.0 which is really great news! BCX is half C and half BASIC. It is close to basic for Console type applications (like a DOS window). Seting it up and getting it working with JCC and LCC took a few hours for me, but now everything is point and click. I've already begun thinking of ways to use the output from the WordNet database! It is great! The way everything is organized and connected is going to make any project more advanced than what would be possible without it. It's super fast too! no waiting.
