The main advantage in extracting from zip files, though, is that you should also be able to run the programs from a memory stick without installation.Īs most programs are designed to allow more experienced users to change/customise the configuration files or to store associated data in a ‘data’ folder within the same folder the tool resides in, you should always extract all files from the zip archive to a location where you have write-access. My tools generally don’t require any installation, but I sometimes provide installers for the sake of convenience for users less experienced with extracting from zip archives. Please note, though, that I’m currently ‘transitioning’ my programs from Perl & Perl/Tk to Python & PyQt, so that I will probably not make any major changes in the foreseeable future. Also feel free to email me suggestions for improvement or additional features. Please report any bugs you might identify to me, so I can fix them and make the programs more useful/useable. by adding more tools and more extensive descriptions, in due course. As 64bit computers are more and more becoming the norm, though, I’ll only produce 32bit versions on special request from now on (Fri May 03 14:30:15 2019), though.

These will run on older Windows versions, can easily be carried on a memory stick to be used on any Windows computer, and also be run on Mac OS X and Linux using Wine.

Upon request by some colleagues, I’ve recently also created 32bit versions for most programs. They are freely usable for non-commercial purposes under GPL 3.0 licence. The tools on this page are programs I have developed for various language analysis or annotation purposes over a number of years.
