Or, more simply: 
egrep '^[newark]{6}$' /usr/share/dict/words | grep n | grep e | grep w | grep a | grep r | grep k

I can't find anything sensible, using the following alias:

[1] c:\netscape\users\cbf\news\host-news.maineline.net>alias
jumspell
c:\c\jumble\jumble %1& | sort | uniq | comm -1 -2 -
\djgpp\share\dict\words

[1] c:\netscape\users\cbf\news\host-news.maineline.net>jumspell
newark
string="newark", max=720, len=6

... no output ...

where the actual jumble program produces permutations, and is the
following:

The only way to get them seems to be to scrounge some samples from
Mill-Max. I've ordered some and they are apparently in the post to me.

Still more:  Rankew, Kwaner, Rekwan, Reknaw...  You think of the rest.

I wouldn't have gotten this quite so quickly except that I have all
five Bottom stage shows on my laptop and they are playing while I
work... :)

Ahwellnow, you didn't say you were there. Try Newark, which is eminently 
anagrammable.

42p for the connector, probably 10 pounds to ship it here (USA)...

The OP specified 14-DIP, and AFAIK the _only_ parts that are available
in this package are from the 430F2xxx series (i.e. all have SBW).

Is that 4 SIL or two rows of 4? Either way, Farnell have them, though 
you'll have to chop up a bigger connector- http://tinyurl.com/ruovt.
