To load up the Stag system run:

% /mnt/linc/xtag/work/xtag/bin/Stag

Load up a source grammar by selecting [Transfer | from] from the Xtag menu. A sample English grammar resides in:

/mnt/linc/xtag/work/stag/tempdata/english/english2.gram

Load up a target grammar by selecting [Transfer | to]. A sample French grammar is in:

/mnt/linc/xtag/work/stag/tempdata/francais/francais2.gram

It doesn't matter which grammar is selected to be source or target. You can flip the direction with [Transfer | reverse direction].

Load up a synchronous mapping between the two grammars by selecting [Transfer | load transfer defns]. A sample is in:

/mnt/linc/xtag/work/stag/transfer-data/english-francais/def-franglish.lisp

Finally, you can type in a sentence to be transferred using the synchronous mapping by selecting [Transfer | transfer sentence].
