This package contains a set of shell scripts which simplify tagging 
with the TreeTagger. The scripts have been put into the cmd subdirectory.

In order to be able to call these scripts from other directories, you
should replace the relative paths in the scripts with absolute paths
and add the path of the cmd subdirectory to the command search path.
