NAME

       fst-mor - Interactive morphological analyser and generator

SYNOPSIS

       fst-mor [options] file

OPTIONS

       -n     Print multi-character symbols without the enclosing angle brackets.

       -h     Print usage information.

DESCRIPTION

       fst-mor  is  an interactive morphological analyser and generator. The argument is the name
       of a file which was generated by fst-compiler (without using option -c).

       fst-mor reads the transducer which is stored in the argument file and prompts the user for
       input. Each input line is processed until the user enters "q" which ends the program.

       fst-mor  has  two  modes,  an  analysis mode (default) and a generation mode.  Entering an
       empty input line switches between the two modes.

       In order to explain what the  program  does  in  generation  and  analysis,  consider  the
       following transducer:

              a b:x c:<> d

       In generation mode, the program will print "axd" if the user enters "abcd" and "no result"
       otherwise. In other words, the program maps the left symbols to the right symbols  of  the
       transducer.

       In  analysis  mode, the program will print "abcd" if the user enters "axd" and "no result"
       otherwise.

BUGS
