No, nobody said that. The Java version of lttoolbox is feature complete, the version of Apertium is not. That said, enough parts of it work that it might be suitable for your uses. Also, being written in Java does not automatically make something cross platform. Sun's marketing was referring to the _binaries_, which is not an advantage for those of us who distribute source. There may be some assumptions of a Unix based platform in the Java version of Apertium, though, IIRC, Steven was using Windows and would have had to change those. > I read (and translated) that to install Apertium on Windows, we needed > to install cygwin.

A Unix-like environment is required to build and run Apertium and its language pairs. It makes no sense for us to write our own versions of basic tools like sed and awk, so we require Cygwin. > When it's said on Windows > the pipe system uses files when on UNIX it is shared memory, it may > explain chaining the different tools of Apertium on a UNIX OS can work > faster than on a MS-DOS based OS, but not than on MS-DOS based OS, the > system would not work.

That's not a reason why it doesn't work, it's a reason why Apertium performs noticeably slower on Windows. -- <Sefam> Are any of the mentors around? <jimregan> yes, they're the ones trolling you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Apertium-stuff mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/apertium-stuff
