+How to use:
+
+1) Sort the wordlist so it can be split into sublists. It is necessary because
+the converter is quite memory-hungry, and you might not have enough RAM to
+process the whole wordlist at once.
+
+./CollectLemmas dicc.src | sort > lemmas.src
+
+2) Split the sorted wordlist.
+
+split -l 500000 lemmas.src
+
+3) Splitting has probably left forms of some lemmas spread across two
+sublists. Manually edit sublists so all forms for a lemma are present in just
+one sublist.
+
+4) Run the converter.
+
+./run_conv.sh xa*
+
+5) The converter has produced abstract and concrete syntaxes for the
+dictionary. You can try them out with GF:
+
+gf DictRus.gf
