FTP'ed in ASCII a word file, how to recover
This is my worst nightmare in recent years!!!
I spent two days writing a proposal due tomorrow, ftp'ed the Word doc to a Unix machine in ASCII mode (i forgot to turn BIN on). Then I was trying to help a colleague download it and I accidently download the ASCII file back to the same dir on my local PC, overwriting the orginal good Word doc. Now Word cannot open it.
Can I use dos2unix on the Unix box, save it as abc.doc and then BIN ftp into my local PC for Word to open it? WIll that work? I am desperate, Any help is much appreciated.

Packages Available Via FTP and WWW
The following WordNet packages can be downloaded using a web browser from ftp://ftp.cogsci.princeton.edu/wordnet/3.0, or from the Web site
noted above. Users can also FTP directly from ftp.cogsci.princeton.edu, directory wordnet/3.0.

Database Package
The database package is a complete installation for WordNet 3.0 users. It includes the 3.0 database files, source code for the WordNet
browsers and library, and documentation. The other packages are not included - they must be downloaded and installed separately.
Note that with this version of WordNet for Unix platforms, only source code is provided. Users should carefully read the README and
INSTALL files for detailed information on compiling WordNet and dependencies.
Prolog Database Package
The WordNet 3.0 database files are available in this package in a Prolog-readable format. Documentation describing the file format is
included. This package is only downloadable in compressed tar file format, although once unpackaged it can be used from Windows systems
since the files are in ASCII. Many Windows utilities, such as WinZip, can deal with a compressed tar file.
Sense Map Package
To help users automatically convert 2.1 noun and verb senses to their corresponding 3.0 senses, we provide sense mapping information in
this package. This package contains files to map polysemous and monosemous words, and documentation that describes the format of these
files. As with the Prolog database, this package is only downloadable in compressed tar format, but the files are also in ASCII.
NOTES
The lexicographer files and grind(1WN) program are not generally distributed.
All of the packages described above may not be available at the time of release of the 3.0 database package.
