[CWB] size of a subcorpus - how?

[Pavel Vondřička]

Hi,
yes, that is a very dirty way, I think. At the moment I prefer the one I
tried using rcqp: compute it from the subcorpus dump in R. I am still
mostly puzzled that CWB is missing such a basic functionality at all.

Best regards,
Pavel

P.S.: Any news from María? I have not heard from her for a very long
time... [Oh, sorry, let's use private reply for this subject!]
