Corpora: indexing BNC-World subcorpora

[Carsten Breul]

Dear all,

can anyone help me with the following problem:

I have been trying to index and register BNC-World subcorpora by
using a tool called 'indexer.exe'. I cannot retrace where/who I got it
from (it was contained in a zip-archive 'client0416.zip'), but I have
the impression that it is the correct indexer-tool, i.e. the one
referred to in the SARA-documentation accompanying the BNC-
World. ('indexer.exe' doesn't seem to be included in the BNC-World
package itself.)

Anyway, 'indexer.exe' always breaks off after saying 'lemma
scheme null' in the DOS-display, and Windows reports an error.
Indexing fails to be completed.

I'm running the BNC-World and SARA on a stand-alone machine
under Windows.

Could anyone tell me what's going wrong and how to fix the
problem?


Thanks in advance,
Carsten Breul
