+Interpreter for ready-made translation lists. Supports
+translation, random generation, and translation quiz.
+
+To compile:
+
+  g++ -o gfex gfex.cpp
+
+To use:
+
+  ./gfex peace.gft
+
+To produce a gft file in GF: 
+
+  gt | tb -unlexer=unwords -compact | wf foo.gft
+
+The format uses encoding of words as integers, which
+gives a memory-efficient run-time program. Also the
+treebank file size is about 1/3 of sentences stored
+in words.
