The 'grinder' utility generates a WordNet database from lexicographers' source files. Manual pages are inclued which describe the format of the database and the lexicographers' files, as well as how to run the "grind" program. The environment variable WNSEARCHDIR is used by the 'lexgrep' command. It indicates part of the directory path in which the lexicographers' files are installed. 'rawfiles' is appended onto WNSEARCHDIR to generate a complete path name. The default for WNSEARCHDIR is "/usr/local/lib/wordnet", therefore the lexicographers' files should be installed in "/usr/local/lib/wordnet/rawfiles". If you install the files elsewhere, you either should set WNSEARCHDIR to be the leading component of the path name and make a subdirectory "rawfiles" for the lexicographers' files, or you should edit the 'lexgrep' script to indicate the correct location of the files. See the man page "grind(1)" for details on setting the environment variable SENSEFILES. To compile the "grind" program, you must first build the WordNet library (in the 'lib' directory), the the grinder (in the 'grind' directory). Makefiles are included in these directories, however they are Sun specific, and will require editing on other platforms.
