Hi there

Can anyone point me to a site where I can download an English dictionary in
a format I can load into a database?

I'm hoping to download in CSV format or similar, with a list of English
words and their word types, eg noun, verb etc

Thanks in advance
Jim

How does one unpack a hqx file? Winzip produces something smaller than
the original and unreadable!

Wouldn't be sure but attested / That, whoever it was, a god /
Worth kneeling-to for a while / Had tabernacled and rested.

I have never done it but the Stuffit software should expand (unpack) a
.hqx file. A free version is available at:
