Parsing with MaltParser engmalt

Question

Hi, I'm trying to use the pretrained parsing model engmalt, available at "http://maltparser.org/mco/english_parser/engmalt.html". I downloaded it, I unpacked it in the directory where I downloaded the MaltParser, and I wrote in the Prompt "java -Xmx1024m -jar malt.jar -c engmalt.poly -i infile.conll -o outfile.conll -m parse", as suggested in MalParser site. The problem is that It gives me this error: "the file entry engmaltpoly_single.info" in the mco file "../malt-1.4.1/engmaltpoly.mco" cannot be found. Can someone help me? I'm working with Windows7 and jre6.How can I pack the folder downloaded from the site(engmalt.poly) in a file .mco? Thanks a lot!!!

I think you are not suppose to add any extension to model file name. So give a try as:

"java -Xmx1024m -jar malt.jar -c engmalt -i infile.conll -o outfile.conll -m parse"
