Have you approached Michael Burke at School of Computing, Dublin City University, he's the person who wrote it. his website is on http://www.computing.dcu.ie/~mburke/ The package that he wrote is now integrated in MS Office (see http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2002/ptk.aspx ) The package linked from LT Scotland http://www.computing.dcu.ie/~mburke/speller.msi I am not sure what you're trying to achieve with this post? If you're interested in the Gaelic spell checker contact him directly, asking politely to release his work under GPL or BSD licenses, so the nice people at Openoffice/KOffice/Etc can integrate his work in free software. After reading the site it seems many people are taking credit for creating the package, and it may be complicated to get who actually owns the rights to it, but I still believe Michael Burke may be the best starting point. > And the second point is why does the Welsh language board get more than the > Gaelic. Maybe the Welsh assembly puts greater importance on Welsh than the Scottish Executive does on Gaelic ;) In other news, the PAB at Nominet (the company responsible for managing the .uk namespace) has completed the IDN workgroup the recommendations has been passed to Nominet, so expect to be able to register names using Gaelic letters like Môr.co.uk under .uk in the future. -- Best regards, Subhi S Hashwa mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] When everything is heading your way, you're in the wrong lane. _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
