This paper describes the system used for the University of Sussex team's participation in the MUC-5 message understanding trials. What is described below is the result of 12 person-months of intensive effort over six months to adapt a pre-existing system, designed with very different objectives and application in mind, to the MUC-5 English Joint Ventures task. This task, starting from cold, is colossal: the overhead of understanding the task, the training data, the scoring, the background resources, of developing a suitable harness for the system, not to mention sorting out contractual arrangements, leaves little time for even basic porting - actual development tailored to the task was a very remote prospect. So, despite the quirks and failings exposed by the discussion below of the 'walkthrough' example, we are pleased with our system's performance, and believe the effort to have been a worthwhile part of our ongoing research.
