[CWB] Installation of a corpus and subsequent problems...

Thu May 15 13:33:16 CEST 2025

Hello again,
I think (shamefacedly) that the errors were simply due to feeding cqpweb 
a non-verticalised file. I had the fuzzy feeling that I had done this in 
the past, but I must have been wrong, as all the files in the upload 
area are in fact verticalised 😳. I'll test with a properly verticalised 
file and, if all goes well, not report back.
Best,
Graham.
