Thanks for the email. It's a good point, but as it happens the 
dictionaries and word lists are all technically my copyright.


Frankly the quality of the non-english dictionaries supplied with QTYP 
and otherwise available to QL-ers was very low. I spent a good deal of 
time updating and correcting, splitting the english dictionaries into UK 
and USA spellings and adding new words. In fact the Dutch and English 
dictionaries I supply were largely my own work, but sometimes I had to 
call on help from native speakers of the other languages.


I am happy that I can make them freely available to others outside the 
QL community,


Best wishes,


Geoff

[Ql-Users] For 1 person only - or maybe just 2!

2017-08-28 Thread Geoff Wicks via Ql-Users


I have always said that one of the strengths of the QL is that it caters 
for minorities.


For the one person - or maybe two people who are interested - the 2017 
version of my UK General Election analysis program is now available on 
the downloads page of my website.


www.gwicks.net/justwords.htm

I am making some changes to the dictionaries page of the site. Currently 
I am getting about 1,500 hits a month on the page and I have a feeling 
they are not QL-ers. The search engines have discovered me and I have 
become an established word list download site.


In the circumstances I am currently modifying the plain text lists from 
the QL to the PC character set,


Best wishes,


Geoff
