[CWB] Re: Output from cwb-align

[Gabriele Brandolini]

Dear Stefan,
Thanks for your suggestions, that I could follow, about the output of
alignment with cwb.

Excuse me if I bother you again. When you get a bit of time could you
help me a step by step guide in order to use the queries of CQP with
an interface like that used in your demo. But in local, as I have
installed Apache2  and i've used it with other program (NATools.)
Really I've tried to find a tutorial  in Internet, but without
success. You know also that it is not always  easy for me to get a
fast and continuous internet connection, so my search maybe was
imperfect.
Thank you very much again.
Gabriel
