DESCRIPTION

wordchop is a program to chop out annotated regions of a data file. It assumes that individual words are annotated at the start and end. If an annotation is labelled simply '/', then it is skipped.

The appropriate part of every SP or LX item in the input file is copied or linked into the new file.
