.SH DESCRIPTION
Malaga is a development environment for natural-language grammars based on the
Left-Associative Grammar formalism.  Malaga grammars can be used for
automatic morphological and/or syntactic analysis.
.PP
The program \fBmalaga\fP is Malaga's user interface for analysing word forms
and sentences, displaying the results and finding bugs in a grammar.
.PP
\fBmalaga\fP requires the name of a language-dependent \fIproject-file\fP as a
command-line argument.
.PP
If no command line options are given, \fBmalaga\fP starts in interactive mode,
and you can enter commands.  If you are not sure about the name of a command,
use the command \fBhelp\fP to get an overview of all \fBmalaga\fP commands.
.PP
If you want to quit \fBmalaga\fP, enter the command \fBquit\fP.
