Mike,

You probably know the stuff I'm using if you are a linguist or even a cog.
scientist.

The huge files I am searching are from a database of syntactic/semantic
meanings of words and phrases in the English language called 'WordNet'
developed at the CogSci dept at Princeton.

I'm using this stuff to build an engine which categorises web pages
automatically on content.

Shyam.
