   Database Package
       The  database  package  is a complete installation for WordNet 3.0 users.  It includes the
       3.0 database files, source code for the WordNet browsers and library,  and  documentation.
       The other packages are not included - they must be downloaded and installed separately.

       Note  that  with this version of WordNet for Unix platforms, only source code is provided.
       Users should carefully read the README and  INSTALL  files  for  detailed  information  on
       compiling WordNet and dependencies.

   Prolog Database Package
       The  WordNet 3.0 database files are available in this package in a Prolog-readable format.
       Documentation describing the file format is included.  This package is  only  downloadable
       in  compressed  tar  file  format,  although  once  unpackaged it can be used from Windows
       systems since the files are in ASCII.  Many Windows utilities, such as  WinZip,  can  deal
       with a compressed tar file.

   Sense Map Package
       To  help  users  automatically convert 2.1 noun and verb senses to their corresponding 3.0
       senses, we provide sense mapping information in this package.  This package contains files
       to  map  polysemous  and  monosemous words, and documentation that describes the format of
       these files.  As with the Prolog database, this package is only downloadable in compressed
       tar format, but the files are also in ASCII.

NOTES

       The lexicographer files and grind(1WN) program are not generally distributed.

       All of the packages described above may not be available at the time of release of the 3.0
       database package.
