Pat,    (01)

Thanks for the message.    (02)

Don't know about 1.55, but for the two versions of the SUMO ontology 
that we were dealing with:    (04)

o  SUMO-1.38 (that came with the kifb install), see: 
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/kifb it says:    (05)

   "Currently there are 4013 sentences and 954 documented concepts in 
the ontology."    (06)

  As for    (07)

o  SUMO-1.59a (that you sent over, line 11737 modified), see: 
http://newell.cim3.com/cgi-bin/kifb (only available temporarily) it says:    (08)

   "Currently there are 4380 sentences and 1021 documented concepts in 
the ontology."    (09)

I'm sure Adam Pease will be able to enlighten us on this.    (010)

Talk to you on your return. Have a wonderful trip!    (011)

Sincerely,
PPY    (012)

P.S. I hope you don't mind my extending the routing of this exchange. 
I felt it is important to capture your message into the archives 
somewhere.    (013)

P.P.S. In your messages, please try to leave a blank line in between 
paragraphs. That will help our "purple numbers", and allow us to have 
paragraph level granularity in our hyperlink access in the future.  -ppy
