I received an off-list reply; but I am replying here. (Thank you Alan H. for your suggestions.)
The build directory /abiword-0.99.3//abidistfiles/dictionary had two files: -rw-r--r-- 1 reed wheel 2156456 Jan 6 04:30 BigEndian32.american.hash -rw-r--r-- 1 reed wheel 2156456 Jan 6 04:15 LittleEndian32.american.hash I wonder if it was built using BigEndian and so I have wrong hash. (These were not installed just created at build time.) I haven't tried the abiwords ispell from sourceforge. ABISUITE_HOME=/usr/pkg/share/AbiSuite ABISUITE_LIBEXEC=/usr/pkg/libexec/AbiSuite $ ls -l /usr/pkg/share/AbiSuite/dictionary/ total 0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 26 Apr 1 19:53 american.hash -> ../../../lib/american.hash $ ls -l /usr/pkg/lib/american.hash -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 5473408 May 9 2001 /usr/pkg/lib/american.hash I do see that it is a different size than the *Endian32.american.hash files. (I filed a bug report with netbsd -- maybe their abiword-personal package was tested under different endian or architecture.) Jeremy C. Reed http://www.reedmedia.net/
