By choosing C as our implementation language, we gained in all three areas. Earlier PATR implementations, written in Lisp and Prolog, require the high overhead of an interpreter.</Paragraph> <Paragraph position="1"> C- PATRs 135k of source code compiles into a 58k stand-alone application on the Mac, and an 82k stand-alone on the Sun-4. C-PATR is an order of magnitude faster than D-PATR. C-PATR has been compiled on the Macintosh and on various Unix systems.</Paragraph> <Paragraph position="2"> There are currently plans to enhance C-PATRs existing syntactic component with a two-level morphological analyzer \[3\]. The sample grammars treatment of yonda \[see Appendix\] is an example of how one might make use of morphologically analyzed forms.</Paragraph> <Paragraph position="3"> C-PATR is available through the Center for the Study of Language and Information at Stanford.</Paragraph> </Section> class="xml-element"></Paper>
