WordNet uses "sense-keys" or "mnemonics" to uniquely identify every
sense of every word. (Note that byte-offset numbers only uniquely
identify synsets, but is the same for all the synonyms inside the
synset). QueryData uses word#pos#sense strings to uniquely identify
every sense of every word in WordNet. 

Currently there is no direct way to take a word#pos#sense string and
create its sense-key without wading through several of the WordNet
files. This program creates a mapping between the word#pos#sense
strings and the sense-keys.

Run this program with the directory in which the following files live:

    index.sense
    index.noun
    index.verb
    index.adj
    index.adv

(or with no arguments if these files reside in the current
directory). The output is every possible word#pos#sense string, along
with its corresponding sense-key. The output is sent to STDOUT and may
be piped to a file.

I have checked the output of this program and it seems to be ok. If
you find any bugs, missed words, garbled mnemonics, please email us!
