Lemma Lessa,
Hello. The ANSI C version of the algorithm should compile on any system, as
it is quite simply written. If you send me the messages produced by Turbo C
I may be able to help.
You should also look at http://snowball.tartarus.org - it may give you some
further ideas.
Work has been done on stemming in Amharic, which I understand is a language
of Ethiopia. See
Alemayehu, N. & Willett, P. "Stemming of Amharic words for information
retrieval." Literary and Linguistic Computing, submitted for publication.

Ababa University, Ethiopia. I am planning to do my project on developing
stemming algorithm for one of the local languages in Ethiopia. To that end,
I am reviewing commonly known algorithms of stemming. Of these stemmers, the
main one is Porter stemmer. Now, what I would like to ask you is that I have
got the ANSI C code of the algorithm from Internet but I was unable to run
it in Turbo C compiler. So, what would you advise me to have C code of
porter algorithm.
