Hello,
I'm rather new to WS5, but most things have worked well for me, except
the aligner utility. This poses a bit of a problem since I'm trying to
compile parallel corpora. My problems is that the aligner refuses to
load the .txt files I'm trying to feed it. Are there any specific
requirements the texts need to fulfill. I have pre-processed it with
<s></s> and <p></p> tags. I have examples of the text and the message
at http://www.bostream.nu/talochtanke/WS5/

Håkan, hi

Apologies, you are right. A bug. I have found it and have now uploaded
a new version. Please run Fle | Web Version Check. (You should not
need to use <s> and </s> tags actually, the problem was entirely
caused by the bug so you may find that the auto setting works OK for
sentences. <p> is useful for paragraphs anyway.)
