- SHORT: Afrikaans dictionary for AlphaSpell V
- Type: text/spell
- Uploader: fdnh@troi.cc.rochester.edu
- Author: Fergus Duniho and Bernard Nieuwoudt
- Requires: /text/spell/ASpell.lha
- Version: 1.0
-
- This is an Afrikaans AlphaSpell dictionary based on:
-
- ftp://sable.ox.ac.uk/pub/wordlists/afrikaans/afr_dbf.zip
-
- Bernard Nieuwoudt, the author of the original file, says "If the
- user of the list makes alterations to the list, the list then becomes the
- property of that user. I then relinquish all rights (and all
- responsibility) of any sort to the list." Since I have made alterations to
- the original list, the ownership of the new list falls to me, Fergus
- Duniho. The original list contained words with spaces, such as "a priori"
- and "a capella-koor," but the new list does not contain spaces in any
- words. It contains "priori" and "capella-koor," which the original list
- doesn't. I made this alteration, because AlphaSpell recognizes the space as
- a word delimiter. It can't tell you whether "a priori" is spelled right,
- but it can tell you whether "priori" is.
-
- What follows is the text from Bernard Nieuwoudt's original readme
- file:
-
- This is a message for the accompaning file AFR_DBF.ZIP:
-
- That file contains a list of Afrikaans words. It is PKZIP-ed (PKZIP 2.04g)
- and posted in binary from a DOS platform.
-
- This list was compiled in personal capacity since 1984. Many works were
- referenced, but the major part of the list was compiled by myself.
-
- Users of the list agree, by using it, to the following:
-
- 1) The list is used entirely at own risk. I will not be held liable for any
- mistakes, ommisions, law suites etc.
- 2) The use of the list as it was posted, is for personal use only.
- 3) As there were many sources for the list, credit cannot be given to all
- sources. It is suggested that any commercial use of part of the list
- should first be vetted by lawers.
- 4) Commercial use of the list, as it is, should first be cleared out with me.
- 5) If the user of the list makes alterations to the list, the list then becomes
- the property of that user. I then relinquish all rights (and all
- responsibility) of any sort to the list.
-
- I hope this makes sence and that you find it agreeable?
