I wholeheartedly agree that the Jargon File should be in there, but I'm not sure that's the right place for it. Isn't it reasonable for users to expect that anything in /usr/share/dict is a wordlist, containing only valid words (in some sense)? The Jargon File, in whatever version you take, contains markup of one sort or another. I suggest that the Jargon File should go in /usr/share/doc. -- Gareth McCaughan Dept. of Pure Mathematics & Mathematical Statistics, gjm11@dpmms.cam.ac.uk Cambridge University, England.
