Thank you very much for your suggestion.

However, I got led up that garden path and spent some time mucking
around with Lotus notes.

I then found out that in the case of corpus files POS means 'parts of 
speech'.
This is typical academia delighting in obscurantism.

Now for more 'fun':

Also bundled in the corpus are .psd files which, wait for it, are NOT
Adobe Photoshop files.
