FreeLing is a library, which means that it not a final-user oriented executable program, but a tool to develop new programs which may require linguistic analysis services.
Nevertheless, a sample main program is included in the package for those who just want a text analyzer. This program may be adapted to fit your needs (e.g. customized input/output formats).
The usage and options of this main program is described in chapter 5.
Please take into account that this program is only a friendly interface to demonstrate FreeLing abilities, but that there are many other potential usages of FreeLing.
Thus, the question is not why this program doesn't offer functionality X?, why it doesn't output information Y?, or why it doesn't present results in format Z?, but How can I use FreeLing to write a program that does exactly what I need?.
In the directory src/main/simple_examples in the tarball, you can find simpler sample programs that illustrate how to call the library, and that can be used as a starting point to develop your own application.
