AbiWord Installation

[Gliding Donut]

I'd downloaded AbiWord because I wanted to try this grammar parser.
However, I am a Windows user and have only performed installations
using .exe formats. (I have a linux-based HP netbook but HP made
customization very difficult so I did not get very far learning the
install processes or gaining familiarity with tar/gz formats.) I
installed Gzip and 7-zip but was unable to get very far. Could someone
here give me some instructions or point me to a place on the Web that
provides them.

Much appreciated.

What are you hoping to do with link-grammar?

Aside from parsing sentences, it "doesn't do anything" in and of itself;
it is only useful if you are a programmer or a researcher who is interested
in creating new systems that do something with parsed English sentences.

Anyway, I thought someone had windows binaries available, but I don't
know where.

BTW,

You can try a very old version of the parser here:
http://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/link/submit-sentence-4.html

Parser coverage has been extended since then, so more
sentence types are now supported. However, the demo will
give you the basic idea.
