Here is an interesting bug in the 4.2 BSD distribution. % diff /usr/dict/words /usr/lib/w2006 4955c4955 < consanguine --- > consanguiNe 4970,4971c4970,4971 < conservatism < conservative --- > conservadmsm > conser6ative 6389c6389 < diamagnetism --- > diamegnetism 8208d8207 < famish You will notice that some words are trashed in /usr/lib/w2006 and famish is deleted. I don't understand why the two aren't just links. Does anything reference /usr/lib/w2006? -- Phil Hochstetler (503) 627-9811 Sequent Computer Systems ...!sequent!phil

The only program I know of that used w2006 was 'typo', an earlier
`version' of spell, which used a different algorithm. As I
recall, it was from one of the very early PWB distributions.
