This file contains general installation instructions for WordNet
compressed tar file packages.  Instructions are given using the
WordNet 1.6 database package as an example.  To install a different
package, substitute the package name for "wn16.unix.tar.gz".

WordNet 1.6 is available in a single file, wn16.unix.tar.gz, or as a
series of 512K files called wn16.unix.tar.gz.aX, where "X" is a lower
case letter.

To unbundle the Unix distribution from the split files, first download
all the parts.  Put the files in the directory from which you want to
install the package.  Next 'cat' them together, and pipe the results
through 'gunzip' and 'tar' as shown in the following command:

	cat wn16.unix.tar.gz.a* | gunzip | tar xvf -

If you have downloaded a single file instead of a series of smaller
ones, you can unbundle it with the command:

	gunzip -c wn16.unix.tar.gz | tar xvf -

Directories
===========

All other WordNet packages should be downloaded into the $WHNOME
directory (the directory that you installed the WordNet package into),
then unbundled and installed as described above.  Each package will
create its own subdirectory in $WNHOME.  Additional information and
installation instructions can be found in the INSTALL file in each
subdirectory.

Cleaning Up
===========

After a package is installed, the archive file (".tar.gz") from which
it was installed can be removed to save disk space.

Gzip Utility
============

The packages have been compressed with 'gzip'.  To install a package
compressed with 'gzip', you need to have 'gzip' (or 'gunzip') on your
system.  If you don't, you can download it from "prep.ai.mit.edu" or
one of the numerous FTP sites that mirror the GNU software.
