Hi Erin,

Where did you get that copy of the umls?  I have 2016AA and it has the standard 
.rrf filenames.

As long as your .aa/.ab files have the standard mrconso.rrf format, you should 
be able to rename them to mrconso.rrf.

Subject: UMLS version in dictionary-gui

Hello,

Is there a particular version of the UMLS that must be used when creating 
custom dictionaries using the dictionary GUI tool? I ask because the more 
recent versions of the UMLS include two MRCONSO files (.aa and .ab), which is 
not compatible with the current implementation of the GUI tool. Is it best to 
just use an older version of the UMLS (if so, which version) or has anyone had 
success modifying the source code to use both files in newer versions?

Thanks,
Erin
