I guess it is doing a good job, but what I was wondering was *what* job was it doing. Was it some sort of API, or glue, between openoffice/mozilla and the spell-checking program, or is it itself the spellchecking program? If it is itself the spell-checking program, how does it work - does it read some sort of word list like ispell does? Or does it it do something else? > The references that I use are: > > http://spellchecker.mozdev.org/ > > http://www.mozcafe.com/download/ > > http://whiteboard.openoffice.org/lingucomponent/download_dictionary.html Thanks for the links, which you already gave previously. But these all appear (after a very cursory examination) download sites, not something I could read to find out what MySpell is actually supposed to do, let alone tell me what I might need to do to interface it or add a new language to it. -- Nadav Har'El | Monday, Mar 10 2003, 7 Adar II 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Linux is just like a wigwam: no Windows, http://nadav.harel.org.il |no Gates and an Apache inside.
