We are looking for a source for word lists (english, american english, other
european languages) to be included in a scrabble game we are developing.
The prefered format is ASCII text files. We would also be curious to know if
there are any word lists that follow a theme (ie Capital Cities, Astronomy,
Movie Stars etc). We are aware of the list that is standard on Unix systems
but this is missing plurals and many verb tenses. 

If you know of any good scrabble programs (for Macs, IBM-PCs, or UNIX) then
let us know.

Thanks if you can help us!

Gary Carroll and Bernard Orenstein.
