RELATED LIBRARIES

My heartfelt thanks to Adam Kilgarriff for his work on the BNC 
(British National Corpus) which forms the basis for the word.db.
I have added and massaged it a bit, but I would never have gotten
this far without it.  The BNC can be visited at
http://www.itri.brighton.ac.uc/~Adam.Kilgarriff/bnc-readme.html.

DATA LOCATION

Harvey uses algorithms AND data to work.  The program looks for 
a file called 'system.dat' in the startup directory.  In this file
it looks for a line that reads 'path=your_path', where your_path
is the directory where the data resides.  

INSTALATION NOTES

Install modules in this order, Word.pm, Verb.pm and then Harvey.pm.
Place the data files (noun.txt, verb.txt, adjective.txt, adverb.txt,
word.txt and word.db) in a data directory and create a file
called system.dat in your working directory to point to the data 
(see DATA LOCATION).
