\s Shoebox support for DOS CARLA programs
\p This project illustrates running the DOS CARLA programs
from within Shoebox.
\nt NOTE:
\p This is useful mostly for people who have already been
running the DOS CARLA programs with Shoebox for
DOS and want to use Shoebox for Windows instead. 
\nt You will only be able to run this sample if you have the DOS
CARLA programs on your DOS path.
\p
\s2 Overview
\p The files in this sample are the Frisian samples from the
DOS CARLA tutorial. 
\s3 Shoebox's Run Batch File Option
\p The primary feature of Shoebox that supports DOS
CARLA is Tools, Run Batch File. This is used to run the
same types of batch files that are used in DOS. These
batch files are built either by the DOS CARLA Menu
program, or are built by hand.
\s3 Tweaking the Batch Files
\p The batch files must be adjusted a little for use in Shoebox.
The primary adjustment is to run the interlinear file
produced by Intergen through the CC table
INTERGSH.CCT to convert it into a format that is better
for Shoebox. Another adjustment is to run the CARLA log
file through the CC table LOG2SH.CCT to convert it into
a format that is better for Shoebox.
\p This sample illustrates the necessary adjustments, so you
can see what you should do to your files by looking at the
files FRIAN.BAT and FRISY.BAT. If you have the DOS
CARLA tutorial, you can compare the adjusted batch files
with the versions of those files that are shown at the end of
the tutorial.
\nt NOTE:
\p Before you run this sample, you may need to adjust the
sample batch files. The first line in each batch file is a
change directory to the standard folder where this sample
appears: c:\shoebox\samples\adapt\adapt4a. 
\p If you installed Shoebox to a different location, then you
should edit the file FRIAN.BAT and change the path to
your path. Do the same for the file ENGYS.BAT.
\s3 Running the Batch Process
\p You run a batch file from Shoebox with the Tools-Run
Batch File menu command. After the batch file finishes
running, any files that are displayed in the project and were
changed by the batch file are automatically reloaded. For
example, break the  entry for "oer" in the lexicon by
changing it to "oerx". Then run the batch file "frian frilake".
You will see the analysis of "oer" in FRILAKE.INT change
to show analysis failure. Then fix "oer" and run again to see
it change back to success. You can do other experiments
as well, including running "frisy frilake" and observing the
resulting changes in FRILAKE.SYN.
\p
\s2 Shoebox Adaptation on CARLA files
\p It is possible to do Shoebox adaptation from files
generated by DOS CARLA analysis. To do this, start with
the interlinear form shown in FRILAKE.INT. This is
produced by running an ANA file through the CC table
INTERGSH.CCT. Set up "Given" adaptation processes for
 \interg1 and \interg2. Add a "Lookup" process to go from
 \interg2 to a target language field. Add "Rearrange" and
"Generate" processes as shown in other Shoebox
adaptation samples.
\s2 CARLA Adaptation of Shoebox Interlinear Files
\p It is also possible to do DOS CARLA adaptation from files
generated by Shoebox interlinearization. To do this, run the
interlinear file through the various CC tables via
SHANA.BAT to convert to ANA file format. Run the
resulting ANA file through DOS transfer and synthesis.
\p
\s This concludes the Adaptation Tutorial.
