That's what Sean's using.... :)

Makes sense....

I'll have to try to remember to check the dates on the versions I'm
playing... I think they may be a little later than that... I know that
over the years, I did see some updates for a while... And the game as it
is plays nicely... The sysop can add words to the dictionary, when
requested or as he sees fit... mark added in updates from later
Official Scrabble dictionaries to the version he had... and passed that
along to Shawn for the version he's running on Ezycom, which by the way
is also still being updated, IIRC....
