It's not really a dictionary, but I've got a couple of references that I've 
been maintaining on my personal webspace of computer acronyms and project 
code names (and name manglings that I've seen on the net)...

	Computer Industry Acronyms (updated/amended ~1/week)
	http://personalpages.tds.net/~slambo/realacro.txt

	Name Manglings and Project Code Names (updated/amended ~1/month)
	http://personalpages.tds.net/~slambo/sillynames.txt

On my own list of projects is to build a more dynamic set of pages for this 
information.  Time (for development) and money (to finance the hosting) are 
the only things stopping this.

As an aside, I'm also maintaining a list of humorous expansions to computer 
acronyms and terms at http://personalpages.tds.net/~slambo/acronym.htm (IBM 
has the most humorous expansions, followed by MCSE).
