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.
