<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear Castle,
<DIV> It appears that Leonid solved Fernanda's problem by
rewriting the way in which CLAN opens and saves files on Windows. He
posted the repaired version of CLAN about two days ago. Please get a new
version of CLAN and then tell us if your problem goes away. </DIV>

These characters disappear in the CLAN output window when I run freq or

when converting plain text (.txt) files to .cha files using the textin

For recent data, I have added these characters manually, and these manually
added characters do show up in the kwal results. Adding manually, however,
does not seem like the correct approach. <BR><BR>If anyone has any
