Not 3do (though perhaps I should have written COLorado 3tion/s 2blind/ness 2ectal 3d 2fast) because by that point, I'm up to COLore+. Which of course only...

This was discussed yesterday on WGP and I said I'd post my stuff when I finished, so here it is: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~o-laughl/compdict/ For everybody: ...
I like this approach. Using this, the original example should have placed a "-" after ABDI, ABDOM, ABDUC, and ABE. As it stands, the original example...
Hello, ... Thanks, John, for sharing your code for the compressed paper dictionary. I think I've got the optimisation right now. The approach is as follows: *...

Gunnar, I am confused. The GADDAG algorithm goes to the left (GAD) until it hits the delimiter and then goes right (DAG), so LeftPart and RightPart would have...
