these are the changes i got from daniel ortiz @ UPV to make it work under
cygwin a few months ago.

i think u'lll also need to fiiddle about with the scripts that uses the
giza++ output to make it work. i don't have the code for that. do a find for
a3.final & A3.final etc.

it may be quicker just to run it on a normal unix machine, rather than a
mac. however, if u managed to sort it out, pls let the mailing list know

Dear Hieu,
this is most useful.  Thank you very much for the lead.  Do you know the
giza program I need to amend?  I take it that the file should not be
overwritten.  Is this the same filename always or does it depend on the
input I give the system?
Many thanks,
Llio Humphreys
