You didn't say it, so I will. It is a fortran
program written in C. You know what they say
about fortran programmers (which I was at the time).

In any case, it is definitely not compatible with
the interlinear file format at Stolfi's site.
If such a version
exists, it will be in the hands of Jorge Stolfi,
so we may found out as soon as he reads this.
