personally thank Charles Taylor - Sysop of:

for all the work that he put into preparing this release!

Charles runs one of the largest and most active Scrabble boards around
and has been instrumental in my renewed interest in supporting the game.
He has also made numerous suggestions for future improvements/corrections
for the program (getting to them slowly Charles).

I've included the letter that he sent me along with the Second Edition
file, which follows below:

Chris, 

This is the OSPD, Second Edition, 1990, hard cover version of the 
SCRABBLE.DIC file that I have put together.  All the words in the hard 
cover edition are included, plus several others that have been approved 
for use since the printing of the OSPD.  I would appreciate your giving 
credit for the file to me and to Pikinu's Pomeranian Paradise! in your 
docs when you start to distribute the file.  

The file is currently 98,872 words.  It is in standard ASCII format, and 
only needs be <A>dded from the SCRABDIC.EXE menu to the SCRABBLE.DIC 
file.  As I get more words that have been accepted by the Scrabble gurus, 
I will add them and forward them to you for inclusion.             

The file is sorted, and all in lower case.  I found it easier to read and 
edit when the words are in lower case.  It is also easier to add words to 
the file, then sort it with QSORT and then build a new SCRABBLE.DIC file, 
at least in my opinion.

I really appreciate the work and effort that you have put into the 
Scrabble door program, and the cooperation that you have shown in trying 
to help me, and many other Scrabble players, improve the door and the 
enjoyment that we get from your efforts.

Charles
