As a purchaser, I know that the dictionary from Austin Code Works
is a list of words.  They do not have a complete dictionary,
with usage, parts of speech, definitions, etc.
The only thing of this sort I've seen is on microsofts
bookshelf cdrom, which is impressive, and I know that
the Oxford English Dictionary is being prepared for
cdrom.

There was an article in last years Scientific American about
word playing in which a researcher at Bell Labs was mentioned.
Perhaps he could be a source.
