Grammar Engineering Frequently Asked Questions

When I close the LKB Top Menu, is Lisp supposed to exit as well?

That depends on whether you're running from source or a precompiled version of the LKB, and on how you close the LKB Top Menu. In general, clicking the X in the upper right or left hand corner is not the recommended fashion of closing the LKB Top Menu. Rather, choose Quit > Confirm Quit from the menu itself. In this case, if you are running from precompiled code, the Lisp image will halt as well. If you are running from source, your Lisp will still be alive.

• When I switch between grammars (e.g., the English Resource Grammar and a Matrix-derived grammar) the LKB sometimes behaves funny (errors, seg faults, etc.). What's going on?
