Dear Info-CHILDES,
In order to make the downloading of CHILDES files through FTP easier, we
have now created both Macintosh and Windows copies of the database. The
data are essentially the same, but you will find that, if you download the
form that matches your machine, the CLAN editor will no longer complain
about the files being in the wrong format and non-Roman characters should
appear in the right form if you have the correct font loaded. The files
are still compacted using the ZIP format, since that can be read by both
WinZip on Windows and StuffIt on the Mac.
