Hi group,
I am searching for a complete word list A thru Z. No definitations, parts of speech, or origins of the words. Just a comprehensive, unabrigded listing. Any suggestions?

I don't think you will ever find a "complete" word list -- new words are added to the Engligh language all the time. Have you searched for "dictionary database" ? If all you can find are files that contain definitions, then write a short program to strip off the definitions and put the words into a new file. If you are on *nix then you might be able to do that with sed program.

Following Ancient Dragon, if you are on a *nix you can get this from /usr/share/dict/words deatils here along with a link to a sample file.
