Doug,

If you have access to a Unix system, you might want to check out
the 'words' file which is usually stored in /usr/dict.

The last 10 records look something like this:

amostuck:/usr/dict> tail words
zoology
zoom
Zorn
Zoroaster
Zoroastrian
zounds
z's
zucchini
Zurich
zygote

It looks like there are about 25,143 entries in the file -- so
perhaps that would be enough to get you started.  Plus, it is in
a convenient ASCII format so you should be able to read it
directly into SAS.

Regards,

Bob
