Yes, i agree, expecting files to be present is not going to be viable (e.g. /use/dict/words in windows) instead I plan to have the algorithm OS agnostic:To attempt to remove the need for a common dictionary present in both compressor and decompressor, I going to have the program perform a search for available, text files as provided by the OS default install, to train the internal model with. Obviously this does make the resultant compressed output to be highly coupled to the computer that produced it, and the compression ratio will differ based on the files found (i.e. between operating systems) however for the purposes of the competition it seems an acceptable restriction.

That is a clear violation of the spirit of the competition.
