315.0. "a for 'orses, beef or mutton" by RDGENG::KEANE () Wed Nov 23 1988 14:33

    hi,
    
    Has anyone got a reasonably sized plain English (American?) Dictionary
    text file I could download over the net? I would be grateful for
    anything, even a compacted file if the decompactor is available
    as well.
    
    I have managed to corrupt my master dictionary file and I cannot
    find a good backup, it appears it got corrupted several generations
    of backup ago, and I didnt use it until recently, when I found it
    was bust. I tried inspecting it with an editor but it is compacted
    and so corrupt I cant even begin to work out an algorythm to unscrew 
    it. If I could start again with a plain AScii version, I could pass   
    it through the dictionary merge program and build a new version.     
    I know there used to be a dictionary file in the CPM stuff that      
    used to be on MKUPD1, but thats gone now, has anyone seen one lately?
                        
    Thanks for any input.....
    
    Patrick K.
