i asked about it some time during the 1990s and discovered that the
data was taken from an unencrypted reel of magnetic tape.
i've got the email somewhere but it won't help if you've only got the CD.

i may be wrong, but i believe the code in dict was used to process
an unencrypted, pre-production edition of the electronic OED that
some of the folks at bell labs had access to. i don't think the CD was
the origin of the data.
