I just realized the list I send from dux has page numbers I usually read in the 
first column of words so that doesn't matter if people want it with out page 
numbers I will remove and resend.  It is just something dux adds by default.

Ok I am attaching a list of 99149 words that I created from an old Linux aspell 
file. The words.txt is the original word list and the words.brf is the 
converted file from Duxbury UEB.  Once my changes are accepted that I have in 
as a pull request our list matches this list exactly.

There are still problems with back translation but at least the forward 
translation matches what Duxbury puts out.  Note I did not just use Duxbury one 
of the translators here at APH went through the whole list and gave me a list 
of problems.  All of the problems were fixed in only 3 changes to the old UEB 
table. 

It would be good to use these two lists as some kind of auto check but I am not 
sure how to best add it.  What I do currently is run the list through 
lou_translate to forward translate the words.txt and compare it to words.brf.  
Then I run it through lou_translate to back translate what I forward translate 
then compare the result to the words.txt to see if the back translation 
matches.  That is where I am still getting errors but most of the errors are 
exceptions that need to be added.  I think even the old UEB tables can be made 
extremely stable even though I think the new tables will be better and easier 
to upkeep in the future.
