RE: free english dictonary

[Eelco de Vries <eelco@bitnetics.com>]

Thanks, but the top 5 words in the word list from www.dict.org already
contained words like 'pussy', 'fuck', 'sex' and some words that aren't
really words but jargons.

My target audience is the general public of Malaysia, words like that can
get me in trouble here. To all my dislike, this is a very censored country.
(Bart Simpson is banned here.)

Can I use the MS Office dictionary to convert it to text file?
I don't want to make the programming too complex since I want the code to be
portable. Just a suitable word list/database of the English language.

Can anybody help me with this?

Eelco.
