Andrea and Ricardo!!!! My dear friends!!!! I have finally been able to code the suffix code into my tool, thanks to the trouble Ricardo had of explaining the rules to me. However, I still haven't coded the prefix code because I would have to think backwards. Is there a word or two which you could tell me from the English dictionary that uses prefixes? That way I would have a way to test while decoding it. Ricardo, just one little question: in my last mail I had the rules described such as: SFX D Y 25 You told me that if instead of a "Y" we would have a "N", it would only use that one. Does that mean I should first look for a "N" and if found it would only use it, and ignore all the "Y"s? I am not sure if the en_GB has any "N" as I haven't looked for it yet. Thanks!

Each test seems to be made of several files I confirm those are the files I mentioned. I've learned by example while editing the dictionaries, so I may be wrong. Also, there are some keywords in the aff test files that I don't recognize. Same for me, and thank you Ricardo for the very comprehensive explanations. I'm a Hunspell user rather than a developer, so I learnt what I need for dictionary maintenance and I look at more advanced stuff as needed. Good luck with your software. To be honest, I was thinking of writting a Java program for the aff/dic part, but I'm lazy and I thought the first thing to do would be to port Hunspell to Java, which is a huge task for me In Marco's case, he only needs to expand words, so rather than writing a full Hunspell replacement he needs to replicate the functionality of the "unmunch" tool (a tool that takes the stem, say "love", and computes "loved", "loves", "loving" and other derivatives) that can be found in the same source package.
