- My next two postings will contain a public-domain database of nearly
- 2500 acronyms and abbreviations, and a shell script that can be used
- to look up acronyms or add them to the database.
-
- The database is based on one I picked up from some anonymous FTP site
- years ago. I've since cleaned it up, passed a spelling checker over
- it, and added hundreds of new acronyms and abbreviations.
-
- I'll be happy to incorporate reasonable numbers of not-too-specific
- acronyms to my copy of the database. Just save up your additions for
- a while and batch them to me. No onsies-twosies, please.
