(2) Start a Cygwin Bash command window and cd to the RULE_BASED_TAGGER_V1.14 directory. (3) Possibile change: In Utils/tagger.c replace start-state-tagger and final-state-tagger with ./start-state-tagger and ./final-state-tagger, because otherwise the tagger command might not ne able to run them.

(5) To run it in the Bash window: cd Bin_and_Data ./tagger LEXICON your_test_file BIGRAMS LEXICALRULEFILE CONTEXTUALRULEFILE
