Dear Colleagues, We have been adding some features to CLAN that may interest some of you. They are: 1. CLAN programs now run inside the TalkBank web browser. For CHILDES, this browser is found at [link]. For TalkBank, it is found at [link]. 2. Leonid has added additional dialog buttons to CLAN's Commands window for "TIERS" and "SEARCH".

new font
