Re: In What Package Are the style and diction Programs? [SOLVED]
Looks like you need the AUR package diction.
Usually most applications are already available in the main repositories or in the AUR, so when you're looking for a specific application, you should always check these two places first. There's also a command-line tool called `pkgfile' (from the pkgtools package) for searching for specific files, but it only works with the main (i.e.: binary) repositories.

Oops, I suppose I didn't check the AUR carefully enough. That pkgtools package sounds interesting so I'll give it whirl. Thanks for the help.
