MLU Command Issue in the CHILDES Browsable Database

[Leonid Spektor]

Hi Yasuhito,

	I am sorry to say, but the security module used on Browsable Database fails often and needs to be manually restarted  and reset. Unfortunately, I do not know how to reset it. I am copying this message to the person who is responsible for Browsable Database. He does not subscribe to Chibolts, so someone has to relay error messages to him. I suspect this will not get fixed until Friday our time.

In the meantime may I suggest downloading desktop CLAN from https://dali.talkbank.org/clan/. And you can download data files from https://talkbank.org/childes/access/index.html.


Leonid.
