+WordNet® is a large lexical database of English, developed under the
+direction of George A. Miller. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are
+grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing a
+distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic
+and lexical relations. The resulting network of meaningfully related words
+and concepts can be navigated with the browser. WordNet is also freely
+and publicly available for download. WordNet's structure makes it a
+useful tool for computational linguistics and natural language processing.
+
+WordNet requires Tcl/Tk, which is included with Slackware 12.1.
+
+Since this package does not install to the default location, the WordNet
+browser (wnb) requires the enviornmental variable WNHOME=/usr to be set,
+so that it can find the database files. To do this for bash, you can add
+"export WNHOME=/usr" to the end of ~/.bashrc, without the quotes.
