I have a file that contains several thousand words, seperated by
white space. [I gather that on Unix there's a standard location for
this file?]
Looking at /usr/share/dict/words, I'm assured that the proper
seperator is \n.
Thanks. I did look around trying to find this, but ultimately failed.
(Is it a standard component, or is it installed as part of some
specific application?)
