FSF/GNU package miscfiles provides /usr/share/dict/ and other files, but is not packaged for Cygwin, although it is available on most Unix distros. You can easily download, install the contents, add a symlink from /usr/share/dict/web2 -> words (for compatibility), or you can run look -a to use web2 instead of words. If you have a handy Unix system, you could just scp the files over to Cygwin. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
