Antonyms are words with opposed meanings: the contrary of synonyms.
As a by-product of HyperDic, we have produced a standard text file containing all the antonyms from the latest full version of the dictionary. Through the following link, you can freely download the Antonym Dictionary.
The file is compressed with zip, and fills only 80 Kb. Uncompressed, it fills 400 Kb, and can be read with any standard text reader.
Antonymy is a symmetrical relation: when A is the opposite of B, then B is the opposite of A. To save space, these antonym pairs are listed only once in the file.
The antonyms found in HyperDic were derived from a slightly modified version of WordNet. Antonymy was expanded from a relation between words, to a relation between wordsets, which yields many new antonym pairs.
