convertion of lemmatised list

[frank h]

Hello Mike,
we have a problem with converting an old lemmatised list. The list was
created using WordSmith 3. Though we proceeded the convertion
according to the advices in the help function it wasn't possible to
convert the list in WS4 - the convertion dialog box always noticed
"found 1 list, converted 0".
Now we tried the same using WS5 - it worked in general, but something
else went wrong:
Normally in a lemmatised list there's a headword with different word
forms - each word form's frequency adds up automatically to the
frequency of the headword. But after the convertion each headword
(including it's total frequency) is wrongly taken as another word
form, and added up to the total frequency. Thus all the total
frequencies are wrong and the whole frequency list is mixed up. Now
that we want to continue the list which is already done for around
5000 entries, we could probably try to change each entry manually, but
maybe you have a better idea to solve the problem.

Cheers Frank

Oh dear. I think what happened was a change in format and the
converter of old data hasn't caught up. You could send me the old data
-- I will see what I can do. But I'm going to be pretty busy for a
week or two...

Update, July:

Both the old and the new formats were OK, I have now made it possible
to select what you want to see in the word-list display. Look at
