Now, what you mean by 'munched'? 1.. If you mean format of the .dic and .aff files (there are ASCII files):
Format is documented and rather easy to understand. Each basic form is in its own line, along with several flags. So it is very easy to remove word from .dic file. But I cannot see result of this. 2. If you mean translating ASCII file to some internal format: Yes, I would like to know when it is done. If after each modification I have to reinstall dictionary again. Is it straightforward process or I need to know something.
