Hi, 

MLU in browsable database does not seem to be working.
E.g., in the Brown > Adam corpus

mlu  +t*CHI *.cha

would yield an error message saying: 

**** WARNING: No file matching "*.cha" was found.

I understand that this is sort of a transition period when it comes to the browsable database, but is there any time frame regarding when we expect that there will be a fix?  I often use browsable database in my undergrad classes, so I would appreciate it if I can get an idea about whether I can expect a fix or I should stay away from the browsable database.

Thank you in advance!  I really appreciate all the efforts made by the people maintaining the CHILDES environments.

Ken,

I just tried it and it works for me, please see screenshot below. Perhaps it was just a glitch.

Yes, John fixed this a couple of hours ago. It was an Ubuntu protection thing.
