well, apologies to anybody who puzzled at my post. i finally looked at
the
makefile. it uses the gnu "gdbm" and the textfiles, words.txt,
rhymes.txt,
and multiple.txt to create the database files. and thus build the rhyme
dictionary.
okay, after an hour++ i finally located the *.txt files. i have them
in the
directory with the rest of the stuff. it is largely from cmu. from
public
domain and with soe lexigraphical work. the gotcha is that the
TEXTFILE line in the makefile doesn't do anything. it just lists the
three
txt files. it is nowhere further references.
my question is pretty simple: given the words.txt, how do i create
words.db?
same with the rest of it....
it's great that somebody from cmu, or wherever, grabbed this stuff, but
the
makefile is incomplete.
