I have at various times referred to Eugene McDonnell's "Jacob's Ladder" essay (http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Doc/Articles/Play204), but I have not been able to play with the code, because it requires word lists, which I did not have.
So, today, I went out and found a source of word lists: http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/ and I downloaded some, which I unpacked in my j602-user directory. (This is was the 0.4 MB zip file representing content extracted from the ispell word list.) I then rearranged the data in the files to match the 'T' convention used in that essay: p=: jpath '~user/' pi=: p,'ispell-enwl-3.1.20/' nms=: pi,L:0-.&'README'{."1]1!:0 pi,'*' mrg=: {:@$@> <@:>/. ] raw=: ;mrg@:(<;._2)L:0 -.&CR L:0<@(1!:1) nms (,@,.&LF 1!:2 p<@,'T',":@{:@$)&> raw This creates a bunch of files with names like T8 and T9 in my user directory which, I believe, should be suitable for generating the 'T' arrays needed for that essay. Perhaps these lists could be read in using something like: T8=: ~. ];._2 tolower 1!:1<jpath '~user/T8' or perhaps the tolower should be omitted, (This would depend on whether you cared that words like 'Monday' were capitalized.) or perhaps you should use some more systematic approach. Anyways, if anyone wanted to play around with that Jacob's Ladder code, and needed word lists, here's a way of getting them.
