Theo,
It would appear that triplets.txt is not included with 3.2.4, and
probably isn't in any 3.2.x release.
Looking at the code, triplets.txt is still used by
HeaderEval.pm:word_is_in_dictionary(), which in turn is used in
HeaderEval.pm:check_for_unique_subject_id(). However, no rules in the
standard set utilize that eval in 3.2.4. It was used by SUBJ_HAS_UNIQ_ID
in 3.1.x, but that rule isn't present anymore in 3.2.4. It would appear
triplets.txt was removed because nothing is actually using it anymore,
however I would expect the eval functions using it should have been
removed at the same time.
After a bit more research, TextCat appears to actually use the
"languages" file instead of triplets.txt. (as far back as 2.50).
