#!/bin/sh -xe # README2.linux.words - second file used to create linux.words # Created: Sun Oct 10 18:50:53 1993 by faith@cs.unc.edu (Rik Faith) # Revised: Sun Oct 10 21:26:01 1993 by faith@cs.unc.edu # # As noted in README.linux.words, extreme care was taken to be sure that # the linux.words list was free of copyright. This was done so that # linux.words would be a suitable /usr/dict/words replacement for the Linux # community. After the initial release of linux.words, Greg Alt # (galt@asylum.cs.utah.edu) and Josh Richardson (josh@gatelink.com) sent me # several short lists of words that were not in my original list. They # obtained these lists by analyzing FAQs and online text material, # including the Federalist Papers. The results were manually analyzed by # them before sending the lists to me. In addition, I removed some words # which were not listed in The American Heritage Dictionary (Second College # Edition, Houghton Mifflin Co., 1991). This method of obtaining words # (from documents, not from word lists) is also "safe" from the copyright # standpoint. Therefore, I am merging these lists in with (version 1) of # linux.words to create the second version of linux.words. # move version 1 list mv linux.words dict.4 # add in proper names (use sort twice to get uppercase before lowercase) cat dict.4 extra.words | sort | sort -df | uniq > linux.words # clean up rm dict.4
