You could try the OMIM database, which is currently 100M It contains both journal references and large sections of 'plain' text. It also contains a large amount of technical terms which will really test any kind of soundex matching if you are using that. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Omim/omimfaq.html#download Unfortunately it only comes as a flat text file, but is very easy to parse. And if you start reading it, you'll probably learn quite a lot of things you really didn't want to know!! :-D -Mark ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
