Assuming you are running Solaris or Linux, you could use the tools supplied
with cass, as developed by Marc Light and Steve Abney:
http://whorf.sfs.nphil.uni-tuebingen.de/~abney/scol1e.tar.gz
Their use is documented in the cass manual supplied in the tarball, but for
the record, you run:
bncsents BNCFILE | tagfixes -f bnc.fxc
where BNCFILE is a BNC source file.
You could alternatively just retag the BNC using a Penn-style tagger, of
course, given that the BNC data was for the most part automatically tagged.
