Does anyone know where a dictionary file for ISPELL (as per comp.binaries.amiga) can be found? Any FTP sites? Thanks, -- James A. Treworgy -- No quote here for insurance reasons -- jtreworgy@eagle.wesleyan.edu jtreworgy@WESLEYAN.BITNET

Any FTP sites? Thanks, The source to the dictionary is in the ispell-3.1ljr/src directory. As stated in the README: You need to generate a hashed version of the dictionary by running buildhash (in ispell-3.1ljr/c). I.E. RTFR. To avoid confusion, I should state: buildhash needs to be run while dict.2 is in your current directory. >-- >James A.

Any FTP sites? Thanks, If you got the complete distribution, you already have it! Check out src/dict.2, which should be a 274K file. I only looked at the first few lines of it so far, but it sure looks like a dictionary to me. Actually, "lexicon" would probably be a better word to use, since no definitions are included... -- Dave Schaumann | dave@cs.arizona.edu | Short .sig's rule!

Rittle Yes, I have comitted the ultimate crime in computerdom: I have publicly asked a stupid question before I gave the manual more than a cursory look. I apologize profusely! (But I won't say I'll never do it again... I know myself better than that! :-)) RTFM.. RTFM.. RTFM.. RTFM.. if I type it 100 times maybe it'll sink in... -- James A.
