DESCRIPTION

       Malaga  is a development environment for natural-language grammars based on the Left-Associative Grammar formalism.  Malaga grammars can be
       used for automatic morphological and/or syntactic analysis.

       an extended-symbol-file (suffix .esym) is to be compiled, you must add the option -use.

       See info Malaga for details.
