WordClassifier - so similar to Paul Nation's Range?

Tool for lesson preparation for EFL activities based on authentic texts (and a range of other uses, like readability assessment, test format preparation, lexical frequency profile, adapting texts to international readership, etc.)

WordClassifier classifies the words in a text into seven different lists:

• Range O: Grammaticalwords
• Range 1: Complete beginners' vocabulary
• Range 2:More words for the lower level learner
• Range 3, range 4, and range 5:Words belonging to the next three ranges of the next most useful group of words
• Outsiders: The remaining words that WordClassifier does not recognize as being in the program's word-list for the learning ranges one through five

I installed the tool succcessfully, got full ranges of lemmas, but could not run it to assess an authentic text. Is there anyone who has tried the tool with a succcess?

 

[刘语料]

I share the same problem with xusun575.

When the program was installed, there were some files in the system folder to be replaced, which were not. I am not sure if this has stopped the program running.

Forget it. This might be the cause?

"I tried it on three computers unsuccessfully and later read in the manual that it won't run on computers in Asia (run time errors)." (http://www.cty8.com/talandis/categories/gle/word_classifier.htm)
