Dictionary text file

Solution
What about `/usr/share/dict/words` on any Unix system? How many words are we talking about? Like OED-Unabridged?
Problem
I am writing a program that needs a list of English words as a source file for it to work. I realise that these source files are available for students writing games such as Hangman or Crossword solvers but I am having trouble locating such a source file and wonder if anyone knows how I can attain one without slowly scraping websites and building up a dictionary manually.
