Windows binary WinLinkGrammar online

[Bill Hayes]

FYI ...

I have created a website https://launchpad.net/WinLinkGrammar

to make available an executable for Windows along with the

necessary regex2.dll.  The name is unique so just Googling 'WinLinkGrammar'

will get you links to it.

I included all of the links and attributions that I could think of (including

this group).  Let me know if you have suggested additions.

Just download the zip, unzip, move the two files into your

link-grammar 'data' folder and you're ready to run.

This is a straight compile to a console app using MS VC++ 2010

other than a minor addition to 'utilities.c' which enables it to return

the directory path of the executing program (so it can find the dictionaries

no matter where Link Grammar is installed).

(Details are in 'code modifications.txt' in the code tree and the new code

has comments showing what was added.)

I tested it under Vista and WinXP.

BTW, LaunchPad.net is a pretty good site for hosting open source projects

although it essentially forces you to use the Bazaar DVCS (distributed version

control software) to upload source code.
