I don't know Windows NT 4.0 (or Windows, for that matter), but 0246 looks like an octal number to me. 246 is the decimal position of ö in the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character code. It's octal number is 0366, and hexadecimal 0xf6. However, the output from your "mjolk" attempt suggests that you are using another charachter set than ISO Latin-1. > @(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.50.3) > & mjolk 9 0: mjˆlk, mjˆlka, mjˆlke, mjˆlks, mjˆl, mjˆls, moll, holk, mol > > where the first returned word 'mjˆlk' is in fact mjölk so obviously mjölk is > in the dictionary. Sooner or later we should all switch to Unicode, but for now you should make sure you use ISO 8859-1 with the Swedish dictionary for Aspell 0.50.3. -- Lars Aronsson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se/ _______________________________________________ Aspell-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-devel
