This directory maintains the wordlist for crab. The program compdict compiles the dictionary file dict into dict.o, which is linked into ../crab. You can delete the wordlist dict (and dict.o too) to save space once you have built crab, because it can be regenerated by "../crab -l > dict". You can also add or delete words from the dictionary if you like (or evern use an entirely different one) as long as you heed the proviso at the beginning of compdict for the format of the file dict. If you like the wordlist the way it is, you never have to grovel around down here at all. Since the program compdict builds an executable file, it isn't entirely portable as written. I know it works with suns and vaxes, though.
