Salam Nadim, I've just join the group and didn't yet setup my machines (waiting for a component that we would arrive on Monday Inshallah) Can you direct me to the place where I can find more info about full_wordlist_ (the cvs code, mailing archive, anything ..) I would like to understand what you are all talking about. Jazak Allah Khair, Mohammed J. Saleh -----Original Message----- From: doc...@ar...

Most of those site note in their "Terms/Conditions of Use" that one is not to harvest their output and "you may not commercially distribute, copy, license or sell any information or materials obtained from the Site". Since Open Source doesn't limit one to not sell info, I highly recommend against looking at those sites for harvesting purposes. full_wordlist_* is a pain to create (its like 70% done too), but once created its there for eternity and it _will_ (I guarantee) by used for generations to come without any rules/stipulations/conditions. If we want an open source dictionary (and we do), we'll need to put-in the sweat equity to create it _once_. full_wordlist_* is the answer.
