    Dear all:

    I would like to carry out a few tests with an alignment program. I have
    read the Gale and Church (1993) paper and, as you know, it comes with the
    code. Before actually transcribing it:

    1. Can I get it machine-readable anywhere ?
    2. Will it compile and run in my PC on a Mandrake Linux ?
    3. Has anyone run tests ?
    4. Any other more recent or easier options ?
    5. Are there any options that run in Windows (many students resist working
       with anything but Windows) ?

    At the moment, the actual purpose of the request is teaching, as part
    of a corpus linguistics course. So it is just a demo, but I would like it
    to be as real-life-like as possible, and it may develop into an actual
    full-fledged research initiative. Languages involved are English and
    Portuguese, so far, Spanish should be included soon.

    Thanks

    Marco Rocha
