If the list of words is too long, then this list should be placed into a file "file.cut" and then this file should be used with "<a href="+s@file.cut">+s@file.cut</a>" option. If the number of data files listed is too long, then there would be only some words missing but not only A-N words. This, of cause, assumes that email messages themselves are not just lists of alphabetically ordered words.<BR>

Thanks, <BR>

I have had that happen with large data sets, but I don't know whether that still happens. The entire set of results appears, but the earliest ones disappear at some point as more results are added to the end.<BR>

The proper place to post this kind of question is on <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><U><a href="chibolts@googlegroups.com">chibolts@googlegroups.com</a>.</U></FONT> I am posting a reply to both chibolts and info-childes address in case you do not subscribe to chibolts Google Group yet.<BR>

There is no database size limit set in CLAN except for the memory size on your computer. Freq command should be able to count all words in database. The problem might be the format of email messages in CLAN system or the commands and options you use. Also, please make sure that you have the latest version of CLAN. To diagnose the problems you are describing it would be very helpful to me if you could email me a sample of your data and the command line you are using at <a href="spektor@andrew.cmu.edu">spektor@andrew.cmu.edu</a>. If you are not comfortable to email to me any sample of your data, then please just describe it and exactly what kind of analyzes you are trying run conduct. Is your data in just a plain text format or is it in fully legal CHAT format? If you are trying to simply get a frequency count of all words you can use "freq +y *.cha" command. That is assuming that your data file(s) have ".cha" extension. If you are trying to get just count of words associated with a particular speaker and your data is in legal CHAT format, then you can add "+t*CHI" option to above command. The "*CHI" refers to a speaker name in your data files.<BR>

Hope this help,<BR>

I'm not sure if this is the place to send questions, but if it is not, perhaps someone can point me to the right place. <BR>
I am working on data based on email messages and have placed some 366 emails into the CLAN system. When I run a frequency count, the outcome is words beginning with the letters O to Z. The words beginning with A-N are missing. Is there a certain data base size in which the program will not accurately process? Thanks, in advance, to whomever can answer this.<BR>
<BR>
