MacWordNet - version 1.4 Installing MacWordNet requires at least 15Mb of free disk space on your Macintosh. If you wish to obtain MacWordNet via ftp, you also require a file transfer utility such as NCSA Telnet to be running on your Macintosh. MacWordNet is also distributed on diskette (3 1/2" high density only) To receive MacWordNet on diskette, please send a check for $25, payable to Princeton University to: Princeton University Cognitive Science Laboratory 221 Nassau Street Princeton, NJ 08544-2093 Attn: Laura Hawkins Obtaining MacWordNet via ftp and installing it: *** When transferring to the Macintosh, remember to ftp *** MacWordNet1.4.sit.bin in MacBinary mode. Note that *** this is different from standard binary or image mode. If you have an ftp client for your Macintosh, such as Fetch or NSCA/BYU Telnet, you may initiate an anonymous ftp session directly to clarity.princeton.edu and transfer MacWordNet from clarity directly to your Macintosh. Note that standard NCSA Telnet does not support direct ftp connections. If do not have an ftp client for your Macintosh, you will first have to log on to a UNIX machine on which you have an account, ftp the file to your UNIX machine, and then ftp MacWordNet from this machine to your Macintosh. MacWordNet is distributed as a Stuffit file. The file that you should ftp is MacWordNet1.4.sit.bin. If you do not have the UnStuffit program, you should also ftp UnStuffit-Deluxe-TM.bin. Once you have MacWordNet on your Macintosh, you must unpack the MacWordNet1.4.sit archive by running UnStuffit and selecting the MacWordNet.sit archive as the one to unpack. After several minutes this should unpack a folder called "Database", a folder called "WordNet Manual", an application called "MacWordNet", and two printing appliations: "SendPS" and "LaserWriter Utility" in the current folder. You should now be able to run "MacWordNet" by simply double clicking on the "MacWordNet" icon. You can print the documentation as described below. Installing MacWordNet from diskette: MacWordNet is distributed on 5 diskettes as 4 segments of a Stuffit file. The Stuffit application is included on the last diskette. You should copy all 5 diskettes into the folder in which you want WordNet installed, then run Stuffit to join the segments, then unpack the joined archive. This should unpack a folder called "Database", a folder called "WordNet Manual", an application called "MacWordNet", and two printing appliations: "SendPS" and "LaserWriter Utility" in the current folder. You should now be able to run "MacWordNet" by simply double clicking on the "MacWordNet" icon. You can print the documentation as described below. Printing the MacWordNet documentation: The WordNet documentation consists of "man" pages that are distributed as Postscript files. They are located in the folder "WordNet Manual", and can be printed using either the "LaserWriter Utility" application (System 7) or the "SendPS" application(System 6). Both of these utilities are included in the distribution - you should use whichever one works with your system.
