[Corpora-List] AntConc 3.2.2 released for Windows and Mac OS X

[Michal Ptaszynski]

Great news Laurence,

I have two issues that haven't been either noticed or perhaps required in  
Antconc.
The first is that Antconc does not read files with file names containing  
2-bite characters (even after changing the encoding in Global Settings).  
Since you work in Japan, didn't you have any problems with that?
The second is calculating ranks of words. I noticed that words that have  
the same occurrence (hit-rate) have subsequent ranks (which probably comes  
 from alphabetical sorting). This means that if there is 1000 words of only  
1 occurrence per each, the word starting with "Aa" will have rank = 1, and  
word starting with "Zz" will have rank = 1000, although statistically they  
should be of the same rank.
Do you consider the above as issues or is it irrelevant in your research?

Best,

Temat: [Corpora-List] AntConc 3.2.2 released for Windows and Mac OS X

Dear Corpora Members,

I'm happy to announce a new version of the freeware software AntConc
(3.2.2) for all versions of Windows and Macintosh OS X (tested on OS X
10.4.11):

http://www.antlab.sci.waseda.ac.jp/software.html

I created this a few years back but did not release it officially
because I had a few initial reports that it did not launch properly.
I've tested it for the past few months without problems, so I hope you
all find it useful.

I've also started a dedicated AntConc discussion list, which I
encourage users to join:
http://groups.google.com/group/antconc

Best wishes,
