[CWB] CWB port on Windows & Textometrie project

[Eros Zanchetta]

Dear Serge,

thank you for sharing this with us. I'd be interested in testing the
Windows version of CWB. Would it be possible to have the binaries (or,
even better, a quick guide on the steps necessary to compile the code
you provide)?

Regards,
Eros Zanchetta
