pgf-service now appears to works with Apache mod_fastcgi (under Mac OS X) in addition to lighttpd. One difference appears to be that while lighttpd passes the name of the PGF file in the SCRIPT_FILENAME variable, Apache passes it in PATH_TRANSLATED. But perhaps this depends on exactly how the fastcgi service is configured. The following is what I added to the Apache configuration file to test this: <Directory /Library/WebServer/Documents/fcgi-bin> SetHandler fastcgi-script Options +ExecCGI </Directory> Action pgf-service /fcgi-bin/pgf-service AddHandler pgf-service .pgf
DESCRIPTION
The Grammatical Framework (=GF) is a grammar formalism based on type theory.
It consists of
* a special-purpose programming language
* a compiler of the language
* a generic grammar processor
The compiler reads GF grammars from user-provided files, and the
generic grammar processor performs various tasks with the grammars:
* generation
* parsing
* translation
* type checking
* computation
* paraphrasing
* random generation
* syntax editing
GF particularly addresses four aspects of grammars:
* multilinguality (parallel grammars for different languages)
* semantics (semantic conditions of well-formedness, semantic
properties of expressions)
* grammar engineering (modularity, abstractions, libraries)
* embeddability in programs written in other languages (C,C++,
Haskell, Java, JavaScript)
