There is a revised version of Heinz Knutzen's dictionary at
http://www.suse.de/~bjacke/igerman98/. This is what I'm using. Just
uncompress the package and read the file 'INSTALL'. Edit the makefile as
described and run make. Copy the files 'german.aff' and 'all.words' to
your 'language_dir'. Set 'language_dir' in your configuration and add
the following lines:
locale: de
endings_affix_file: ${lang_dir}/german.aff
endings_dictionary: ${lang_dir}/all.words
This works for me, and if I'm looking for 'K�ln', I find both: 'K�ln'
and 'Koeln'!
