Hi, I am a newbie to this spell checking area. I am working on a Win xp prof platform. I installed aspell "Full Installer" from http://aspell.net/win32/ I ran the setup and saved it in the c:\programfiles\Aspell folder Then I downloaded the aspell-en-0.50-2-3.exe <http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/w32/Aspell-en-0.50-2-3.exe> (precompiled dictionary) ran the setup and saved it in the same folder (c:\programfiles\Aspell). I went to the bin dir and ran aspell.exe ..for a test file using the command Aspell check test.txt ---> this gave me a list of options for the misspelled words. Now my questions are a. Where is the config file? I tried "aspell config " it dumps me a list. How do I modify the config file? b. How do I create my new dictionary? For example I want pt to be recognized as patient what should be the name of the dict file and which folder I need to put it in? Thank you ---- Reply ---- Hi Arun, Did you check out the the Manual part of the download? There is a html file called The-Options.html that describes the options. a) That is a fairly old version of aspell, which I don't have on my system anymore. If you check the manual, there is an enronment variables and and a command line option to specify the config directory and config file. b) To make a new read only dictionary from a list of words type aspell create master outfilename < infilename You should read the manual to learn how to setup the master dictionary as a multi dictionary and how to add your read only dictionaries to it. You are also invited to check out http://sourceforge.net/projects/descdatadiary It makes use of aspell for its spell checking and it makes use of my windows port of aspell 0.60.3. It is only alpha version, but I'm interested in feedback and so on. best regards, Gary _______________________________________________ Aspell-devel mailing list Aspell-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-devel
