Software I Have Developed

OTPad is the code used in my dissertation. Should compile under Windows and Linux, probably Solaris as well. Released under the GNU Public License. Note, this is a tar archive, compressed with bzip2. I did this because I didn't have enough disk quota for a zip archive. Anyway, please cite me if you use this package or extract code from it for academic purposes! There is also a binary-only version for windows. To use this, create a new temporary directory, put this exe file there, run it (thus extracting the files into the temporary directory), then run the newly created file setup.exe. I'll put up a better self-extracting executable version of this when I remember the name of a better freeware zip program than FreeZip...

UCLA OTP is the code described in my master's thesis. It is released under the terms of the GNU Public License. Please send me any modifications you end up making to the code, any bugs you find, or any modification requests you might have. Also, if you use this code in your own research in some way, I would appreciate a reference to my thesis. Thanks!
UCOTP is a fancy GUI interface to a new, improved version of UCLA OTP. It's currently released under a X11-style license. Please give this a try and let me know what you think about it. It has lots of features, including output generation, constraint ranking, and tableau generation.
AMAR is the code described in my undergraduate thesis. It is also released under the terms of the GNU Public License. It has undergone a great deal of bit rot since I wrote it, and it no longer compiles on my platform. One of these days I plan to fix that. If you fix this, I would appreciate getting a copy of it. There's also a newer version of the code that should compile, but I stopped working on it before it was finished. One of these days I'll update that, too.
LangTutor v0.11.3 is a foreign-language vocabulary tutor program that runs on PalmOS PDAs (all of them, probably, although I've been running it on a Palm IIIx and a Tungsten T). Included is source code... Note that this, too, is released under the terms of the GNU Public License. Includes examples in German, Spanish, Quechua, Latin, French, and Hawaiian. See the readme for release notes and that sort of thing.
UCLA PhonologyPad is a program that allows you to solve SPE-style phonology problems. It gives you (a) paradigm(s), and you provide underlying forms and ordered rules. The program then checks those rules, shows the derivations, and more. Runs only on Windows 95 or higher operating systems. Written in Visual Basic 5, for the class Linguistics 120A at UCLA. If this doesn't work for you, first try installing FeaturePad, which can be found on Professor Bruce Hayes' web page. Newer versions of Phonology Pad may appear on Bruce's page as well.
The UCFSM FSM Library is a C++ library of weighted finite state machine routines (and other algorithms and data structures) that was used for UCOTP. It also contains some scripts for manipulating FSMs via a command-line interface. It is released under the Lesser GNU Public License (LGPL). Please let me know if it works for you,and what you think of it, or if you have some additions/corrections. One of these days I'll write some documentation for it...
pylog.py is an implementation of the Warren Abstract Machine (thus, of the language Prolog) in Python. This isn't really useful for anything, but python or prolog people might like it (I wrote it to try to understand prolog). The algorithms are taken from Ait-Kaci's paper.
