******UPDATE****** NOVEMBER 10, 1987 Compiled to run on a 50K TPA under CP/M 2.2. The file FULLDICT.D contains the full DICTION phrase list, but in order to use it you will have to delete the phrases of your choice to make the file the same length as the current DICT.D file (number of total lines). Once you have done that, erase the current DICT.D file and rename FULLDICT.D to DICT.D. The program will operate properly without doing the above, but I just chopped off phrases at the end of the list to reach the proper size to work correctly. Have fun.
