    I'm looking for an on-line (public domain) dictionary, or (and in many
    ways better, a simple word list.  My imagined purposes included
    wildcard searches for words matching an input pattern, which may be a
    suffix.

|     	VISA::SYS$KITS:[CRACKIT]DICTIONARY.DAT will get you an English
    public domain spelling dictionary that I use in searching for poor
    passwords.
    
    	However, it occurs to me that a library of such dictionaries for
    various languages could be a valuable company resource. Anyone willing
    to contribute either further dictionaries, or disk space to hold them??

|     Find a VMS V5.4 system, then turn on enough privileges to read
    SYS$LIBRARY:VMS$PASSWORD_DICTIONARY.DATA.  No privs?  Pluck it
    from the VMS054.B saveset.
