I would like to create my own hashed word list (analogous to hlista and hlistb) for use with the spell(1) program on a 3130. While the man page for spell (and hashcheck and spellin and hashmake) does not explicitly mention how to do this, it would seem that part of this task involves something like cat <file> | hashmake | spellin <n> where <n> should be the number of words in <file>. But even attempting echo dog | hashmake | spellin 1 seems beyond spellin's capabilities: after sitting and thinking for about 20 CPU seconds, it crashes with a segmentation violation. Is there anyone out there who would admit to knowledge about how this version of spellin should really work? Thanks. Jim Diamond zsd@pig.drea.dnd.ca
