[CWB] Parallel corpus alignment question

[Graham Ranger -- UAPV]

OK... I'll answer my own questions (this is becoming a habit, 
apologies!). (Please correct me, elaborate, etc. if necessary.)

1) the admin pw is "user", but it seems to work only with sudo, not with su
2) I have aligned source texts with target texts, cqpweb doesn't appear 
to be able to display all the alignments simultaneously but does enable 
quick switching which is good.

Apologies for troubling you but perhaps this might be of help to other 
cqpweb[inabox] users.
Best,
Graham.
