directing freq output?

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Lotte,
     Questions on CLAN functions are really supposed to be posted to  
info-chibolts, but for convenience, let me answer yours here.   
Basically, you should be using the +d2 option in
FREQ.  This creates output for the STATFREQ program.  STATFREQ is  
very happy to create lots of zeroes for missing material in just the  
right EXCEL format.   Here is the command that I used on the ne20  
sample directory in the CLAN/lib/samples folder

statfreq stat.out.cex +t*CHI +f +d

After you run that, you are told that you are next supposed to run

statfreq stat.out.cex +f +d

And then your output is in stat.out.sat.cex

Good luck with this,

Brian MacWhinney
