According to the moderator of rustex-l, listserv@ubvm is the correct
address. If you are unable to subscribe directly, you might want to
contact said moderator (Dimitri Vulis, dlv@cunyvms1) and ask him to add
you to the list directly.

I got the following message from the Berlin Wall list. I logged onto
Munich ftp and discovered that there are several other interesting
.Z files (you need a unix uncompress). The data transfer was somewhat
slow (2k/sec), but not intolerable. I'm going to try massaging the
file and using it in unix spell with a german text.

Some time ago Mr.Haupt asked for a spellchecker for German
words. An ASCII word list of size 137591 is available at
