Please send code, references, comments - about systems which can transform
words to stems and stems to words, in an efficient and effective fashion with
very small tables.  There are a number of stemming algorithms, and some
systems that generate words from root+attribute_information.  I would be
interested in a list of such, and especially of systems that do both in
an integrated fashion.  Preferred are systems that can run under 4.x UNIX.
   Many thanks, Ed Fox (fox.vpi@csnet-relay)
