# SCL tools
## Intro
- Smt Ambaa KulkarNi has led the creation of several such FST based tools. These are very useful for word generation and analysis.
- Resources available of July 2017:
- Only the lttoolbox compatible bin files are provided without any documentation (*by request*, not on any public site).
- This is usually a part of the scl website code, which is antiquated and mostly useless for further development (while still serving as a useful reference for how the core lttoolbox bin files are to be invoked) as it:
- relies on CGI technology.
- is written in perl.
- has a poor build system.
- Smt Ambaa does not provide the dix files (the author of this library asked).
- So there is no chance of an outsider using them :
- to grok how the bin files are to be invoked,
- to understand the underlying lttoolbox technology by example.
- to develop them further
- They're hosted on <scl.samsaadhanii.in> and mirrors.

## Resources available as of July 2017:
- Only the lttoolbox compatible bin files are provided without any documentation (*by request*, not on any public site).
- This is usually a part of the scl website code, which is antiquated and mostly useless for further development (while still serving as a useful reference for how the core lttoolbox bin files are to be invoked) as it:
- relies on CGI technology.
- is written in perl.
- has a poor build system.
- These lttoolbox compatible bin files don't work with the Java libraries as of July 2017 - see [thread](https://sourceforge.net/p/apertium/mailman/apertium-stuff/?viewmonth=201706).
- Smt Ambaa does not provide the dix files (including to this author).
- So there is an outsider cannot consider using them :
- to grok how the bin files are to be invoked
- to understand the underlying lttoolbox technology by example.
- to develop the FST-s further.

## Invocation tips
The below are sourced mostly from communication with smt ambaa and from experiments.
