NAME

       timblclient - a simple client to access the Tilburg Memory Based Learner Server

SYNOPSYS

       timblclient -h host -p port [-i inputfile] [-i outputfile] [--batch] [-b basename]

DESCRIPTION

       timblclient   connects  to  a  TimblServer  on  'host':'port'  and  sends  it  the  normal
       instructions. (see timblserver )

OPTIONS

       The timblclient options are

       -i inputfile
              a series of timblserver commands.

              When BATCH is specified, inputfile is supposed to be  a  'normal'  Timbl  testfile.
              Every line is send to the timblserver as a 'classify' command.  Default is stdin.

       -o outputfile
              Where to put the results. Default is stdout.

       --batch
              When  --batch  is  specified,  the  input  from  'inputfile'  is not interpreted as
              timblserver commands, but as instances that will be send 'as  is'  prepended  by  a
              classify instruction.

       -h host
              connect to the server on 'host'

       -p port
              connect to 'port' on 'host'

       -b basename
              set the base in TimblServer to 'base'

BUGS

       This is just a simple testprogram, and rather clumsy.
