• Baby Glue 2.0 (May 21, 2003)
  A new version of BabyGlue, a simple and partial implementation of 'glue' logic for Windows (9x, 2K, untested for ME, XP but should work) This version features some interface improvements, but mostly a re-interpretation of the prover (based on the work of de Groote and Perrier) that does the complete implicational fragment of propositional linear logic. So the two readings of 'find a unicorn' workout without underlying ad-hoc fiddles (but still no pronouns and anaphora). This time the source code is included. I expect there to be one or two additional releases with interface and other minor improvements, and then the attempt to integrate this into LFGW. Older versions:
  • Baby Glue 1.3 (Dec 13, 2002)
  • Baby Glue 1.2 (Nov 20,2002)
  • Baby Glue 1.1 (Nov 11,2002)
  • Baby Glue 1.0 (Nov 4, 2002)
• Grammar Exercise Applet: This is a Java applet for running interactive grammar exercises where the student finds or identifies stretches of text belonging to various grammatical catories (noun, perfect aspect, or whatever), and gets feedback on how they're doing.. The applet itself works pretty well, but I don't yet have a good and stable authoring tool for the exercises (they're in XML format).
• lfgw: a smallish but rather unstable LFG implementation for windows (3.1, even). Its best feature is an error-tolerant parsing scheme, via parsing allowing increasing numbers of violated constraints.
• lfg-pc: a very small LFG system for DOS (will run in 512K of memory!) More stable than lfgw.

LaTeX

• 'AmziPy': interface for Python and Amzi! Prolog. Incomplete and very lightly tested; currently at version 0.1 (alpha)
• amzi4lsx, a Delphi unit for interfacing with Amzi Prolog, being Amzi.pas with some enhancements for making lsx's
