where is my /usr/dict/words or /usr/share/dict/words on cygwin? (1.7)

2009-12-11 Thread Kenneth Wolcott
Hi;

  I update frequently.

  I always get everything from the standard cygwin mirrors.

  I have not seen /usr/share/dict/words or /usr/dict/words for quite
some time now.

  I really like this package and it is not installed on any of our
proprietary systems at work and it is not installed on any of our Linux
machines at work, but it is on a FreeBSD machine at work that I cannot
always get access to.

  Why isn't it on my cygwin installation (1.7) when I ask for EVERYTHING to
be installed?

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott

Because no-one has volunteered to package it? Certainly I can't find
it in the package list, either on 1.5 or 1.7. Perhaps you'd previously
copied it manually from elsewhere?
