From: Vwaju on 20 Dec 2009 17:11 I notice that Slack 12.2 doesn't have /usr/dict/words or usr/dict/ websters. Where can you get these files? Thanks & Happy Holidays, Vwaju New York City

I don't follow where things should be, or why, but the "look" command expects the dictionary file to be /usr/share/dict/words, so you can go look help and see words in the dictionary that include "help". The man page says it looks there, so I'm assuming that's where it's expected, and it's not some quirk of Slackware. Michael

Which version are you using? Regards, Barnabyh -- The general public is a bunch of morons who destroy the fun and life in everything it collectively touches. Disney is what the public wants. NASCAR is what the public wants. Windows is what the public wants. (Comment on Slashdot, Monday March 28 2005, @11:02AM, Gnome Removed From Slackware.)
