I have been using WriteNow as a wordprocessor on the mac. In my (humble) opinion it's one of the best (and only release 1.0!). My question deals with the use of the dictionary. The one I have is "filled" with the English vocabulary, and occupies approx. 80K. I would like to create a different dictionary, which contains words from the Dutch language. Ofcourse I can just add new words to the existing dictionary, but it would double it's size (plus allow strange mistakes!). Is there someone around, who knows how to create a new dict. file, or how to delete (part of) the contents of an existing dictionary? Thanks in advance.

jcrc@ihlpg.ATT.COM asked about a Dutch WriteNow dictionary. I tried
to mail a response, but ihlpg knows no user jcrc. Anyway:
There exists a WriteNow Dutch dictionary, which I saw in use last
week at IPO (Eindhoven, Netherlands). IPO is a Philips/Technical
University Eindhoven laboratory, so jcrc should have the possibility
of contacting them (try ...!mcvax!nlgvax!philipo!root and ask for
Carl--I don't know his own login) They should know where one can
be found.
