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.

Andy
