I am looking for a natural language parser that I can
incorporate into a program I am writing (in Pascal using MPW). 
I know that natural language parsers have limited capabilities. 
What I hope to find is a parser that could read at, say, the level 
of an Infocom game: accept a finite list of verbs, handle simple 
subject-verb-predicate relationships, and so on. The parser 
would have to be written in C or Pascal.

Does anyone know of a company or individual who would sell 
such a thing -- as an engine that can be used in one's own 
program?
