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.  New SFS files are created for each
     annotated word, header  information  is  borrowed  from  the
     input SFS file.  The appropriate part of every SP or LX item
     in the input file is copied or linked into the new file.
