You can get it via anonymous FTP from celray.cs.yale.edu in celray.cs.yale.edu:pub/dict.shar celray.cs.yale.edu:pub/ispell.shar celray.cs.yale.edu:pub/ispell.el (I think this last file is also in ispell.shar.) I believe that it is also available via anonymous UUCP from osu-cis. Enjoy! -- Mark D. Baushke mdb@ESD.3Com.COM
