8 years ago I found the issue- the parsing of the file, reading in the 4 bytes after reading the word, produces very erroneous results. I wrote another method ReadFloat which reads each float in and replaced the other code, and that fixed the problem. I also wrote a methods that advances the stream to the end of the line.
I am unsure how exactly the output file is formatted. The first line is the number of words and another int. Is that the max size of each word? Then, on the next line, a word followed by a bunch of small doubles (it seems between -0.005 and 0.005); there are more than the amount of words there are (i.e 8 words, waaaay more than 8 doubles) so I assume this is not the distance. There are lines for each word. When I use the Distance class, it doesn't get all the words, instead it just gets the first and then every entry after is just a bunch of nonsense numbers which don't seem to correspond to anythying.
