What kind of file are you looking for? Is it a dictionary for M$ Word?
If so, we would need to know the version, since with each update M$
seems to have used incompatible formats. 

Incidentally, if you are using M$ Word in Canada (isn't that what .ca
stands for?), shouldn't you have got an English dictionary as part of
the package. 

I use a German-language version of Word, but nevertheless I have English
dictionaries in a bewildering variety of different forms of English,
including US, British, Australian, Canadian, South African, Caribbean
and Irish, although being Irish I wasn't aware that we used a different
spelling system from the British.

Would this not break a copyright law or two?

No, no. It is *our* spelling system that differs from *yours*. Haven't 
you understood that yet, reading this group?

Maybe, but if we all did it Shevy might learn not to ask for mass mail
bombings. (If the counters on Garry Vass's Boink web sites are reliable
there are huge numbers of people reading aue.

Speaking of Gazza, anybody seen him lately?

If Microsoft has been trying its hand at Irish placenames, I would
love to see its list.

I think the biggest difference is probably in the set of place names
included in the dictionary. The same applies to the British compared to
Australian versions.
