This Quick Start shows two examples of how GF can be used.
We assume that you have downloaded and installed GF, so that
the command <tt>gf</tt> works for you.
the command <tt>gf</tt> works for you. See download and install
instructions <a href="../tmp-download.html">here</a>.

Or go to <tt>GF/examples/tutorial/food/</tt>, if you have downloaded the
GF sources.
<li> Start GF with the command
<pre>
gf PaleolithicIta.gf PaleolithicEng.gf
gf FoodIta.gf FoodEng.gf
</pre>
<li> <b>Translation</b>. Try your first translation by giving the GF command
<pre>
t PaleolithicEng PaleolithicIta "the boy eats the snake"
parse "this cheese is very very Italian" | tree_bank
</pre>
<li> <b>Generation</b>. Random-generate sentences in two languages:
<pre>
gr | l -multi
generate_random | l -multi
</pre>
<li> <b>Grammar development</b>. Add words to the <tt>Paleolithic</tt>
<li> <b>Grammar development</b>. Add words to the <tt>Food</tt>
grammars and try the above commands again. For instance, add the following lines:
<pre>
Black : A ; -- in Paleolithic.gf
Black = {s = "black"} ; -- in PaleolithicEng.gf
Black = {s = "nero"} ; -- in PaleolithicIta.gf
Bread : Kind ; -- in Food.gf
Black = {s = "bread"} ; -- in FoodEng.gf
Black = {s = "pane"} ; -- in FoodIta.gf
</pre>
and start GF again with the same command. Now you can even translate
<i>the boy eats the black snake</i>.
<i>this bread is very Italian</i>.
</ol>
