Thanks Winston
I was one day going to look into learning Python, but I am afraid that
my programming days are over. The strokes damaged parts of my brain
that dealt with communication skills and programming skills, among
others. I tried to relearn C/C++, but it was not going to happen.
I would like to see a "simple" working code in Python though. If I ever
decided to try to retrain the programming part of my brain, I was told
to try Python.
The dictionary word lists are not in an "special" type of array, so far
as I can tell. The list sample below is part of an Oxford English "dic"
file. After the "/" is the codes for the system to use. I really have
not found a good reference to what these codes each indicate, except
some appear to be suffix indicators. The word lists I now use do not
have codes, but still work well. When I dealt with word lists and code
indicators, these codes would shrink the amount of space you need to
store the dictionary lists. Back when RAM/ROM was in the price range of
32 to 64MB for $100 or more, the more space you can save, the better.
Now we all get sloppy in our code size. Since we do not need to have a
chess game fit onto a single 1.44 MB floppy, we do not write that
"tight" codes. As long as it is quick enough, correct?
Well not everyone is like that now.

Possibly a convenient language for comparing the word lists would be
Python.
--- Python has a data structure "dict" (dictionary, hashtable,
associative array).
--- Python has a data structure "set".
If you wish, I can email you short, working, example code.

If I still could remember my basic C programming, I would write a
program comparing the different word lists to see which words are not
common, but after 3 strokes I have not programmed such a package in
many years. Actually a few months after the last stroke.
