Try going to http://www.langmaker.com They used to have a huge database
of all kinds of conlang resources, including on-line and downloadable
word generators and sound change appliers.
Also, they're down at the moment, but I had both on fantasist.net, one
of my websites. Currently, I've run out of bandwidth and the host I'm
using had issues with the conlang scripts I had set up. I'm working on
them, though, and finding another webhost.
Sadly, life has intervened so it's taking longer than I'd like. When I
get them up and running somewhere, though, I'll let you all know.
Thanks,
Jim

Is, I know how to curse: the red plague rid you,
For learning me your language!"
