- For lack of any better place to post this, has anyone ever seen
- Merriam-Webster's Third New International Unabridged Dictionary on any
- computer platform?
-
- Next question - most Unix dictionaries are only about 24,000 to 25,000 words
- located in /usr/dict/words, I wonder if anyone has something larger to
- replace this? I know many dictionaries can exceed 100,000 words that come
- with many word processors.
