+Moby (tm) Part-of-Speech II for MSDOS operating systems is compressed
+and distributed on one HD double sided diskette.  After decompression
+the vocabulary file included with this product is in ordinary ASCII
+format with CRLF (ASCII 13/10) delimiters.
+
+This second edition is a particularly thorough revision of the original
+Moby Part-of-Speech. Beyond the fifteen thousand new entries,
+many thousand more entries have been scrutinized for correctness
+and modernity. This is unquestionably the largest P-O-S list in the
+world.  Note that the many included phrases means that parsing
+algorithms can now tokenize in units larger than a single word,
+increasing both speed *and* accuracy.
+
+
+Database Legend:
+
+
+Each part-of-speech vocabulary entry consists of a word or phrase 
+field followed by a field delimiter of  (ASCII 215) and the
+part-of-speech field that is coded using the following ASCII symbols 
+(case is significant):
+
+
+
+Noun                           N
+
+Plural                         p
+
+Noun Phrase            h
+
+Verb (usu participle)    V
+
+Verb (transitive)      t
+
+Verb (intransitive)    i
+
+Adjective                     A
+
+Adverb                         v
+
+Conjunction                    C
+
+Preposition                    P
+
+Interjection                   !
+
+Pronoun                        r
+
+Definite Article               D
+
+Indefinite Article             I
+
+Nominative                     o
+
+
+
+This two-part vocabulary record is delimited from others with CRLF
+(ASCII 13/10). For example, engineer Nt  means that the word engineer
+has two main uses in English; the principal part-of-speech is as a noun 
+"That engineer could write in microcode with one hand and in ADA
+with the other" and its secondary part-of-speech is as a transitive verb:
+"We sure engineered that software to death." 
+
+In many cases, the -ed, -ing,
+-ly, and -ic forms of words are not explicitly listed; the participle forms
+of verbs will be usually marked simply with the V sign rather than the
+more specific t or i symbols.  Words such as "be," which often have
+more than one head entry in a dictionary, have one listing with all the
+parts-of-speech for all senses concatenated.  Foreign words commonly
+used in English usually include their diacritical marks, for example, the
+acute accent e is denoted by ASCII 142.
