Hi Barry,

Thanks for your prompt response.

When I grep for the undescore in run2.features.dat, I get lines like this one:

FEATURES_TXT_BEGIN_0 0  100 8 d_0 lm_0 w_0 tm_0 tm_1 tm_2 tm_3 tm_4
FEATURES_TXT_END_0

You can find attached the beginning of run2.features.dat, with the
features of the first sentence.

Thank you very much,
Antonio
