[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, I am not a UNIX user, but I remember in my school daze with UNIX that there was a text file with a list of English words for spell checking purposes. It was a simple text file with one word per line. I am trying to figure out how to get a copy of this file. My searches on Excite and Yahoo have turned up discussions of this file which might be /usr/dict/words, but I can't seem to locate the actual file anywhere. The man page for the spell command apparently identifies the file name and location if that helps.
