Note that there still appears to be a problem with the bazaar example: Even though the normal dictionary is supposed to be supressed and the user wordlist used instead, the whole text in eurotext.tif is still returned, including words that are not contained in the user wordlist - it appears that disabling of the default language resources in bazaar did not work.
Would it be possible for you to run the example in the manual on a MS Windows machine and check if it works for you.
