Hi Jimmy. Thanks a lot for the prompt response.

OK, I guess I'll have to ask Mikel Forcada for that tagset.

OK, you are right, there is documentation in the comments of the
script. I actually had opened the script in my editor and I had had a
look at it but with the rush I had not seen the reference to the
options (-l, -n etc.) which is what I was wondering about. Sorry. I
opened the new version you sent me now and I see that the options are
different:

Options:
  -n   Skip Proper Names
  -l   Skip entries containing spaces
  -p   Use existing lt-expand output
  -h   Displays this help message

In the previous version there was an -m option, wasn't there?

OK, I'll try to get the tagset for the dictionary I'm trying to work
with and then try the new version of dix-to-maco.py you sent me
(thanks!).
