<DIV>Hi Wayne,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Yes, I do. There is a Russian gent by the name of Constantine.</DIV>
<DIV>His e-mail addr is:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><A onclick="javascript:DC();return false;" href="mailto:wablenica@mail.ru">wablenica@mail.ru</A> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> He was experimenting with WordNet, as were some people at</DIV>
<DIV>the University of Indiana. I believe, however, that Constantine might</DIV>
<DIV>be able to give you some direction on its uses. It has been awhile</DIV>
<DIV>since I looked at the stuff, but I thought Princeton staff were also</DIV>
<DIV>utilizing WordNet for cross-system language support. I shall rummage</DIV>
<DIV>through my files and references and see what else I can come up</DIV>
<DIV>with. Try Constantine first, however. I am sure he could help you</DIV>
<DIV>out.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

There are a<BR>> variety of sites which feature assistance files for use of the<BR>> Wordnet versions.<BR>><BR>> Hope you find this useful. I believe that the various Siouan<BR>>
