Acronym database & lookup tool

[Dave Sill]

My next two postings will contain a public-domain database of nearly
2500 acronyms and abbreviations, and a shell script that can be used
to look up acronyms or add them to the database.

The database is based on one I picked up from some anonymous FTP site
years ago.  I've since cleaned it up, passed a spelling checker over
it, and added hundreds of new acronyms and abbreviations.

I'll be happy to incorporate reasonable numbers of not-too-specific
acronyms to my copy of the database.  Just save up your additions for
a while and batch them to me.  No onsies-twosies, please.
