PHONDAT/VERBMOBIL Software  2.9

F. Schiel	14.12.93 / 23.07.03

****************************************************************

Software for I/O of PHONDAT/VERBMOBIL data for Sun, LINUX, Mac and 
(partly) architectures using Big Endian and Small Endian data format
(for example Intel, Motorola, DEC, HP)

README		: This file
makefile	: Note that there different entries for SunOS and LINUX

header.c	: reading and writing of PhonDat headers
data.c		: reading of PhonDat data
audio.c		: audio functions for Sun Sparc
laudio.c	: audio functions for Linux
icsiargs.c	: argument handler

test_pho.c	: checks files for PhonDat standards
test_nis	: checks files for NIST SPHERE standards

hear_stf.c	: plays stereo files (VM CD S series only)
hear_raw.c 	: plays raw files without header
ex_ph_o.c	: extracts the orthographic string from a file with 
		  PhonDat header 2
nist2pho.c	: converts a NIST/SPHERE file into a Phondat 1 file
pho2nist.c	: converts a Phondat file into a NIST/SPHERE file
pho2raw.c	: converts a Phondat file into a raw file
raw2pho.c	: converts a raw data speech file into a PhonDat file
pho2sam		: csh script, converts a Phondat file into a raw file
                  and a SAM descriptor file
sam2pho		: csh script, converts a SAM speech file and descriptor file 
                  into a phondat file
wav2nist	: converts a WAV file into a NIST/SPHERE file 
                  (BEWARE: not a general purpose tool!)
par2TextGrid	: extracts tiers from a BPF file and writes them into 
		  a praat TextGrid file
par2ags.pl	: converts a BPF file into XML based annotation graph file (AGS)
ag.dtd		: DTD zum AGS format
macutil		: subdirectory with Mac utilities (see readme there)
man		: subdirectory with man pages to be installed on 
		  your platform

*****************************************************************

How to use on Sun 4.1.3:
	 Make sure that the right comments are in Makefile
         Comment out the following line in 'icsiargs.c':
                     #include <strings.h>
	 sun% make all
		The sources are ANSI-C. 'cc' won't work !
 	 For usage see man pages in subdir man

How to use on Sun Solaris 2.4:
	 Make sure that the right comments are in Makefile
	 sun% make all
 	 For usage see man pages in subdir man

How to use on Linux:
	 Make sure that the right comments are in Makefile
	 sun% make all 
 	 For usage see man pages in subdir man

How to use on other platforms:
	Edit the sources and replace the audio output functions 
	in audio.c to satisfy your requirements 
  	Compile with an ANSI C compiler
	Note that on some platforms you don't need to swap the
	data like on Sun.
