   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 com‐
       piling 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  sys‐
       tems  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.
