Dear Phyllis,

  The command for removing a coding tier (such as %cod) is:

kwal +t* +t@ +t% -t%cod +d +f +1 *.cha

Make sure you create a complete copy of your whole folder before doing this,
since the +1 switch replaces your originals with the new files.  However, +1
is nice since you end up with a complete folder of the files you want.

Also, you should check out the RELY program which compares master and coder
files for reliability.
