Problems with +f switch using vocd

[CHILDES]

Hello Leonid,

Thank you for your response. Sorry for my delay in responding.

I don't believe that the problem has anything to do with the
exclude.txt file. vocd doesn't have a problem locating the file and it
still doesn't work using the +f switch when I don't include the
exclude.txt file in the command. It seems to have to do with the +f
switch since the whole command works only on computers for which I
have not used the +f switch in the command line, which I find very
strange.

To test this out, I used the command without the +f switch [vocd
+t*MOT +r6 -s at exclude.txt filename] on a computer I had not yet used
the CLAN program on and it worked fine. Next, I used the same command,
but with the +f switch [vocd +t*MOT +f +r6 -s at exclude.txt filename]
and I got fopen: cannot open filename. The problem doesn't resolve
itself when the computer is restarted.

I am actually away on vacation so I cannot try to reinstall CLAN just
now, but will try to when I return. I have been using PCs with XP. Is
there a way to clear the command box of all the command lines I have
entered already?

Thank you,

Virginia

I couldn't get CLAN to fail on my Windows XP PC and my Intel Mac OS 10.6 when "exclude.txt" was located by vocd. Please install new CLAN and try vocd again. If you are still having problems, then please email to me all the files that you are using while running vocd. In case of example below, could you please email to me the file "exclude.txt" and file "filename".  Also, let me know which Computer and OS you are using, i.e. Mac or PC, Win Xp, Vista 7, 10.5 or 10.6.
