Additional Notes

• We are setting up a Google-based Web forum for users of ACORNS, ELK, and WOLF software. Feel free to participate and add comments, suggestions, and bug reports. Check the http://cs.sou.edu/~harveyd link for details.
• The default location for storing dictionaries is a directory named wolfFiles. On Windows system, this directory is created within the My Documents directory. On MAC systems, it is created in the Documents directory. On linux systems, it is created in the user’s home directory.
• If you plan to use keyboard mapping features, you store .keylayout files that define the mapping into the wolfFiles/keyLayoutFiles directory. You might have to create this directory before adding keyboard mapping files to it. Please refer also to Elk documentation (http://cs.sou.edu/~harveyd/elk) for more information on creating and using keyboard mapping files.
• If you plan to edit the GOLD ontology for your own purposes, it is in the WOLF plugins directory. On Windows and Linux it is in the same folder as the executable (C:\Program Files\Wolf\wolf1.00\wolf2.10 on Windows). On MAC systems, it is located in /Library/Frameworks/wolf2.10.framework/wolf2.10.
