Brian, this is great. I will be in Japan from Feb 18-27 and this new piece
comes very handy.
I wonder whether you could upload two chatfiles and data to the 'example'
collection on the CAbank. They are the files I plan to use in my lectures.
I have as well a new sound file for one of the Arun transcriptions. The one
on the net is the wrong file.
Where should I upload the stuff?
I have quite a load of transcribed data now to get ready. I hope to have
time in March to get the stuff ready. It has been quite desastrous here -
workwise.
Hope you are fine, say hi
