William whitaker latin translator

This is words, a Latin-to English dictionary program, by William Whitaker. It takes keyboard input or a file of Latin text lines and provides an analysis of each word individually. Versions with "E" in the name also provide English-to-Latin functionality. Brian Dragoo first ported it to Linux in early using gnat 3. He re-compiled it in May using gnat 3.

I'm not the original author, but feel free to direct questions to me and I will answer them to the best of my ability. Below is a link to the author's development page where you can find the source code and instructions for compilation. Words may be installed by a single user on any Linux or FreeBSD system, or it can be installed system-wide by an administrator for use by all users on the system.

It is as follows:. I had to include this script because the program needs to be run from its own directory to know where to find its supporting files.
