Hello, Bram, thanks for the reply! I'm sorry, but I can't find the famous $RUNTIMEPATH/spell/*.diff files. They are don't seem to be part of the vim or the vim-spell-xx packages in gentoo, and I can't find them in vim's ftp server. I can't find the a-a-p recipes either... I'm sorry if this should be more obvious, but I'm stuck.
When I can make a good pt_BR vimspell file I'll contact the pt_PT people to see how are we going to maintain vim dictionaries. Thanks! Leonardo Ferreira Fontenelle 2007/2/9, Bram Moolenaar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

If you have a spell file without regions, use ":set spl=pt". The distributed spell file has both pt_PT and pt_BR.

I'll be very glad if someone wants to take over maintaining the spell file for a specific language. Look in the directory mentioned above, you will find *.diff files. These need to be applied to new .dic and .aff files, as much as possible. More info in runtime/spell/README.txt. Generating the files is done with an Aap script. Installing Aap should be easy, it only requires Python. -- From "know your smileys": |-( Contact lenses, but has lost them /// Bram Moolenaar -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ download, build and distribute -- http://www.A-A-P.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org ///
