Error Saving .cha Files

[Brian Macwhinney]

Matt,
    This could be some kind of CLAN bug.  Alternatively it could be something unique to your computer.  I think that Leonid Spektor will have to get involved at this point.  It may not be easy to diagnose, because we probably cannot replicate this. I would have asked you to send us a copy of the file causing the problem, but that’s not possible here, because you can’t even save the file.  However, you could try creating a regular text file using some other editor and then open and edit that file in CLAN to see whether or not that problem persists in that case.  Leonid may have other ideas.

The same occurs when I manually put ".cha" at the end of the file. CLAN will also sporadically crash when trying to save a file. I haven't used CLAN in a few months, but haven't encountered the same errors in the past. Does anyone have any insight how to fix this?
