Miscellaneous Code - WordNet and Metaphone These libraries provide an English language dictionary, and a method for determining the sound of a given word in English. You can use these as a thesaurus and spell-check for your Progress app, as well as a means of fuzzy searching using Metaphone. Also included is the Levenschtein distance algorithm for determining string similarity. Soundey is included, but is deprecated by Metaphone.
