> Does anyone know of a source for an on-line hyphenation dictionary?

The word list from the American Heritage Dictionary is available on
magtape.  Look up the publisher in the dictionary and give 'em a call.
The tape includes the capitalization, syllabication, and stress
symbols from the dictionary.  In fact, it looks like it was generated
directly from the typesetter input.  A friend had to convert the character
set it arrived in, to the local (APL) character set, and noticed a few
glyphs that only occurred once or twice.  When he looked in the printed
dictionary, indeed there was a little centered square there rather than
the usual centered dot!
