[CWB] Re: Querying more than one corpus at a time

[Alberto Simões]

Dear Gertrud,

Thank you for your answer. That is the approach I tend to perform. Was 
just wondering if there was any more efficient way (give the full task 
to CWB instead of being done by the Perl program).

Will try to implement this approach, then :)

Thank you
Alberto
