Public Brand Software in Indianapolis sells two such 'dictionaries', one
large and one small.  The small one contains 60,000 words; the disk is 
number RD2.1.  The large one contains 233,622 words on three disks, numbered
RD1a.3 - RD1c.3.  The large dictionary forms a 2.7 Mbyte ASCII file; the
words are in alphabetical order, one per line, in lower case.  Both
dictionaries are shareware.  Expect to pay Public Brand Software $5 per disk,
plus $5 shipping, and the author's shareware registration fee.

Contract Public Brand Software at 1-800-426-DISK; in Indiana 1-800-727-3476;
and in Indianapolis 317-856-7571.

Good luck.
