AVAULABILITY OF SPANISH CORPORA AT UAM

 A list has reproduced a message expressing doubts on the
availability of our corpora (spoken Peninsular, written
Argentinian and written Chilean) for anonymous ftp users at
LOLALLLF.UAM.ES

 As both Fernando Sanchez and myself have been receiving
queries about the truth of that statement, I beg willing
persons to redistribute the following message to any
interested list:

 All three corpora are still available via anonymous ftp
in the Laboratorio de Linguistica Informatica at UAM
(Universidad Autonoma de Madrid).

 If you have had troubles with getting any of them is
because they reside in a small SUN computer that is used
for heavy processing and the number of anonymous visitors
is very restricted in number. Unfortunately, the ftp
software does not report this fact and some visitors tend
to leave open connections for days. Anyway, frustrated ftpers
should try to mail us ({fernando,fmarcos}maria.lllf.uam.es)
explaining their difficulties before posting a message to a
list.

 Please, try again, as there is only one visitor at the
moment (Wednesday, 12 9:50 a.m. Spanish time).

The easiest way, however, is trying

HTTP://WWW.LLLF.UAM.ES/

or my personal page, as at the bottom of this message, and go
to our ftp services.

A Chinese Language Site for Streaming Sound Delivery has been set up at:

http://chinese.bendigo.latrobe.edu.au/

You are invited to test this new facility with comparasion to conventional
sound files such as Microsoft Wave format.

Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.
