Depfiles & gems

[Brian Macwhinney]

Dear Ingrid,
    Yes, life would be easier if your files passed CHECK.  You can't do a GEM analysis, because your files have @bg instead of @Bg and often they are not correctly matched.  You would find this out if CHECK would run.  To get CHECK to run, you need to add the letter "x" to your tiers such as %xcar or %xref.  You can do this globally, but if you don't want to fix things, then many things will just not work.
   The good news is that FREQ will work, you just have to use the +d2 switch and not +d3 and you want +t%ref or +t%xref.
