Short: Convert Arabic numerals to many languages Author: Scott Deerwester, ported by Stefan Haubenthal Uploader: hauben00@marvin.informatik.uni-dortmund.de (Stefan Haubenthal) Type: misc/math This version of number was inspired from the standard version in /usr/games, but with a big difference: It knows how to count in a *lot* of languages, and can be taught almost anything that it doesn't already know. The information on how to count in a given language is given in a grammar, written in a meta-language described a little later. Grammars exist, as of this moment, for: Cantonese French Japanese Spanish Chinese (Mandarin) Gaellic (Irish) Malinke Susu English German Pular Vietnamese Esperanto Italian Romanian Dutch (Flemish) ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 471 295 37.3% 09-Jan-97 21:41:20 +bavarian 386 256 33.6% 02-Feb-88 18:27:34 +cantonese 205 130 36.5% 02-Feb-88 18:27:38 +chinese 470 308 34.4% 23-Jan-97 22:50:34 +dutch 372 198 46.7% 02-Feb-88 18:27:34 +english 177 129 27.1% 20-Jan-97 14:06:20 +esperanto 470 308 34.4% 23-Jan-97 22:50:34 +flemish 1026 506 50.6% 02-Feb-88 18:27:34 +french 483 298 38.3% 02-Feb-88 18:27:38 +gaellic 421 271 35.6% 09-Jan-97 21:39:32 +german 483 298 38.3% 02-Feb-88 18:27:34 +irish 570 325 42.9% 08-Jan-97 00:35:10 +italian 598 351 41.3% 02-Feb-88 18:27:36 +japanese 461 291 36.8% 02-Feb-88 18:27:36 +malinke 205 130 36.5% 02-Feb-88 18:27:36 +mandarin 384 241 37.2% 02-Feb-88 18:27:38 +pular 420 250 40.4% 02-Feb-88 18:27:36 +romanian 670 363 45.8% 02-Feb-88 18:27:36 +spanish 342 210 38.5% 02-Feb-88 18:27:38 +susu 347 223 35.7% 02-Feb-88 18:27:36 +vietnamese 411 223 45.7% 02-Feb-88 18:27:30 +makefile 20744 12278 40.8% 06-Jan-97 00:37:38 +number 690 425 38.4% 02-Feb-88 18:27:30 +number.6 14540 5742 60.5% 06-Jan-97 00:36:38 +number.c 6275 2767 55.9% 02-Feb-88 18:27:30 +readme 460 271 41.0% 22-Jan-97 22:06:56 +smakefile -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 52081 27087 47.9% 24-Jan-97 21:26:12 26 files
