code: public Map<String, String> extractAbbrPairs(String inFile) {
          FileReader fr;
          try {
              fr = new FileReader(inFile);
              return extractAbbrPairs(fr);
          } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
              return new HashMap<String, String>();
          }
      }
docs: Method altered, 08/19/08. Processing code moved to extractAbbrPairs(Reader) to facilitate extraction of abbreviations directly from text (i.e.
  a String not a file).
