- Ispell Enchant Backend
-
- Ispell is as old as time. I'll bore you with the history lesson - let it
- suffice to say that there are many forks of Ispell floating around there.
-
- This is based off of work done by myself (Dom) and others inside of AbiWord
- (http://www.abisource.com). It is a port of Ispell to C++, some other general
- modifications, plus it's stateful (no static/global data). These are all good
- things.
-
- The current version of enchant looks for dictionary files in 2 places:
-
- 1) Global directory - this is $prefix/share/enchant/ispell/
- 2) User-local directory - this is $home/.enchant/ispell/
-
- The user's dictionaries, if present, always take precedence over the global
- ones.
-
- You can grab dictionaries compatible with this version of Ispell from:
