About 6 to 12 months ago, there was posted a path to a word list which was on the arpa net. The word list was HUGH and at the time I had no need for it nor anyway to get it since I did not have arpanet access. Well I need it now but I can not find the old notes about how to get it. Can someone send me the instructions. If possible, it might be easier just to dump onto tape. Mention if that is acceptable. Please mail the info to me and I will post the results. I usually do not read this notes file. Thank you Perry Smith pedz@ct (ct-net) convex!ctvax!pedz (uucp)

I know there's a project in work to put the Oxford English Dictionary into machine readable form. Does anyone know if the people working on it have a net address? I only need the word list, not all the definitions, etc. A magtape would probably be the best way to transport it.
