Hi,

I have found some minor bugs in the English US dictionary (it thinks 
"inchive" and "inchest" are words).  This was actually due to a bug in the 
munch program I used to generate the word list.

I have now fixed that bug and created an unmunch program to convert our 
dictionaries back to normal wordlists to play with, merge etc.

I will post the new dictionary later this evening on the dictionary 
website for those interested.

I would also love to have a good technical dictionary for English with 
computer, math, engineering, legal etc terms all grouped together in one 
place.

If anyone knows of such a wordlist (GPL, BSD, etc) or would be willing to 
volunteer to create one, I think many of us would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Kevin
