The license on it allows re-distribution, I think, so it would be possible to
make a much smaller, trimmed-of-fat subset for use as a word processor
supplemental dictionary available from a more local server. A nice
collaborative project - happy to write a few Python scripts to do the trimming
if necessary if someone else works out what sort of files are needed. Target
supplementary dictionary formats ought to be OpenOffice and MS-Word - no idea
what form for files these can import as spelling dictionaries. Plain text
files, I expect.
generally if you look at the *.dic files they render in a text editor
like this :
Abidjan
Abigail/M
Abilene/M
ability/EISM
Abingdon
abjection/MS
abjectness
abject/Y
abjuration/M
abjure/RGyNSDn
ablate/GSD
ablation
so my guess is a simple text list with carriage returns could be cut &
pasted into a document, and then "save to custom dictionary"
a macro to save the 10,000 mouse clicks required would be an asset though
