This entry comes as the following files:
    GB.PL         - the parser.
    GIBBERISH.    - a brief introduction, together with some exercises
                    and suggestions for improvement.
    GIBBERISH.PRE - this file.
    PRETTY.PL     - tree-printing predicate.
    TEST1.        - sample sentences.
    TEST2.        - sentences which the parser can't yet parse,
                    suggested for exercises on improving it.


To use the program, consult GB.PL and PRETTY.PL. The latter is a
tree-printing predicate. Then call 'parse', which reads a sentence
from the terminal, parses it, and displays the tree. 'parse' is defined
near the top of GB.PL.
