These applications use HTML3 and Netscape extensions and may
not be rendered satisfactorily by other browsers.DATR theories with complex inferences, or long query lists
may trigger the time-out function and return
an empty data file (this may have other causes, however).
If a time-out occurs, check the last entry in the
Result Buffer Log.

Further information on MUD-HyprLex:
This is an experimental system and is subject to change without
notice in respect of specifications and performance. Please do not
use the Update or Upload functions or you may get lost in hyperspace.
This HyprLex application presupposes a working knowledge of DATR
MUD-HyprLex is a UNIX tool (approx. 1200 code lines) for interpreting
standard DATR queries, query declarations (show/hide), and theories.
MUD is the Minimal UNIX DATR interpreter, and HyprLex is the interactive
HTML 3 based lexicon interface.
Quoted atoms and enhancements such as variables
are not currently supported, though atom and node declarations may
be used.
The tool is not optimised for
performance. Consequently, long query lists take time.
Currently, full syntax checking is not included.
The trace function is extremely verbose, and should
therefore be used with great care in order to avoid generating
huge files. It should preferably only be used with manual input.
Basic statistics and action information are included in DATR
comment lines as a header. Comment lines also precede theorems
generated by show/hide declarations and theorems generated by lists.
Manual entries are treated internally like lists.
The last manual query is stored in the file manual.qry and
may be browsed and selected like other query lists.
The call "mud notrace nocrunch theorem ..." generates a
subset of the lexical closure which is also a DATR theory
and can also be processed by mud. Repeated processing
yields character identical files, except for comments and empty lines.
