I'm looking to write a simple program to extract stuff from Project Gutenberg's books (--of whivh there are tens ofthousands thanks to Michael HArt and his volunteers). There is no collection of metaphors in the public domain, and it wouldn't take that much coding if there were a database with word, (grammatical type), e.g. foot, n love, n run, v ugly, adj etc. It occured to me that I might take the CIDE/GCIDE database and somehow scrounge the world-list above from that. I don't think it is available on Linux. Dunno. Nutshell, it would be a major help to writers to have this kind of stuff online instead of a 17-pound book... . Thanks for ideas, as well as code snippets! gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
