This list can be used by spelling checkers, and by programs such as look(1). . There are also -small and -large versions of this wordlist, and there are wbritish* and wcanadian* packages as well. I can't remember installing wamerican manually... I would never have done it just for "look." Regards, Ralph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
