From rev.3.4, a grammar-based recognizer called "Julian" is also
included.  the Julian can be compiled from Julius sources by
specifying configure option "--enable-julian".  The grammar format
Julian uses is original one based on BNF.  A grammar compiler that
converts the written BNF to finite state grammar, and several test
tools are included in this archive.
