Hi,

You can decompile a dictionary like this:
 - Load the dictionary in Eliot: from the Settings menu, select
"Choose dictionary"
 - Open the Dictionary Tools dialog, from the Windows menu
 - Switch to the "Dic. info" tab
 - Select Save word list, and choose a file where to save the word list

Another option is to use the "listdic" command-line tool, available in
the windows version of Eliot. For other platforms, you can easily
build it yourself from the source code (instructions in the INSTALL
file).

Just an additional remark,

When a language tiles distribution uses digraphs (read Catalan or Spanish word lists), Eliot uses internally a single char for storing such tiles in dawg format. So, decompiled word list will use single internal characters.
