skipping maze words with VOCD

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Phyllis,
  Thanks for your note on this.  Leonid took a look at this just now and it
appears that this is a limitation in VOCD.  Unlike the other CLAN programs,
VOCD was written at Reading without direct incorporation of the CHAT format,
so we often find problems like this.  Leonid is working now to modify KWAL
so that it can send the correct output to VOCD that strips the mazes.
Hopefully, this will be ready by tomorrow.
