None of this is correct. The Irish version has more than a 1000 *hand-written* rules: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gramadoir/ga/rialacha-ga.in?rev=1.4&view=auto (and several hundred for French the last time I looked) which certainly belies (1) and (4). Regarding affixes, suffixes, I forgot to mention that I wrote a script that can convert a myspell affix file into the gramadoir "morph-xx.txt" format, so it's at least as powerful as myspell. I haven't tried the same for Hunspell yet, but theoretically it's doable. I won't quibble with the "undocumented" business, since I'm pretty terrible at writing docs. But at least it's there. And we do have a nice community of about 20 working together on the gramadoir-devel mailing list. Notice that I'm *not* arguing that the tool actually is suitable for the languages you're mentioning. I have a healthy respect for how difficult this problem is. I'm just correcting you on factual matters. -Kevin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
