-sxxx switch

[Leonid Spektor]

Hi Sebastian,

	If you use +sxxx option you will get the result you want. The MLU counts words on %mor tier and xxx is never entered on %mor tier. The manual entry you are referring to is a typo it should have read +sxxx.

You can easily test this by coping following 6 lines into a file and running commands "mlu filename.cha" and "mlu +sxxx filename.cha" to see the results.

*CHI:	one xxx two .
%mor:	det:num|one det:num|two .
%gra:	1|2|DATE 2|0|INCROOT 3|2|PUNCT
*CHI:	three four five .
%mor:	det:num|three det:num|four det:num|five .
%gra:	1|2|QUANT 2|3|DATE 3|0|INCROOT 4|3|PUNCT



Leonid.
