Abstract
The following paper describes the development of a tool which verifies controlled grammars. First, the development context and the application is described. Then, the definition of the task, and the architecture of the system are given: It consists of a syntactic analyser, a repository of ill-formed structures, a matcher, and an output formulator. Finally, system test results are presented, and some problems to be solved are explained; also, the application environment is sketched.
