VOCD

[Brian Richards]

Dear Emily,

Unlike other CLAN programs, vocd looks for the exclude file in the working
directory. That might be the cause of part of your problem.

Normally, however, vocd will continue to run the analysis even if it can't
find the exclude file. The fact that the program terminates for you makes me
wonder whether there is a mismatch between the *CHI tier you have selected
and the name of the tier in the transcript.
