  1. INTRODUCTION:
  2.  
  3. Here are some hints on where to find dictionaries and affix files for
  4. various languages.  I have verified all of these as of 29-Nov-1993.
  5.  
  6. Some of the affix files distributed with ispell are identical to or
  7. are based on the affix files at these ftp sites.
  8.  
  9. Older affix files from some of these sites will require changes to the
  10. "defstringtype" and "altstringtype" statements to specify a
  11. deformatter before they will work with ispell 3.1.  This is done by
  12. adding a new quoted string, "TeX" or "nroff", after the first quoted
  13. string in the statement.
  14.  
  15. Sites that use large numbers of affixes, or that use ISO Latin-1
  16. character sets, will usually get better results by using Martin
  17. Boyer's perl-based version of munchlist rather than the one
  18. distributed with ispell.  This version is available for ftp from:
  19.  
  20. SITE:        ireq-robot.hydro.qc.ca
  21. DIRECTORY:    pub/ispell
  22. FILES:        buildict.tar.gz
  23. COMMENTS:    requires perl.  Note only one "d" in file name.
