Word-List Builder (this is not an ad) I have a small(5k) program(WordList.EXE) that will extract <words> from any file and append the new words to a textfile(MainList.TXT). It is in early beta, but does the job nicely. I simply drag-n-drop multiple files onto the icon and let it do its dirty work. It prints new words to the screen and echos "." when it encounters old words again. It will, of course, accept parameters from DOS.

Is the source code available for porting to other platforms?

Sure, I'm not a Unix guru, but if you can port Turbo Pascal, more power to you! I will send the source if someone specifically asks.

This is totally free to anyone who wants it. Just email and I will send the latest version. Suggestions are certainly considered.

Unixi, recursively scanning directories.

Unix, you can do, but the recursive subdirs aren't a prob for me. A final dream would be to convert it to VB4, use MS's WWW custom control, and unleash it as a spider.

Imagine building a word-list just from your /Netscape/Cache subdirectory!

Imagine building a word list from /usr/spool/news/*
