Hi

You can create a Vim spell file from the .aff and .dic files that Myspell
uses. Myspell is used by OpenOffice.org and Mozilla. You should be able to
find them here:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
This link actually points to the old OpenOffice-2.x dictionaries.
OpenOffice-3.x dictionaries uses a different format (.oxt files)
but I just found out that it's possible to also convert them to
Vim dictionaries. The .oxt files are just zip files which contain,
among other things, the .dic and .aff files.
The link to OpenOffice-3.x contains more dictionaries than
the link to OpenOffice-2.x dictionaries.
So how about updating ":help spell-mkpell" as in attached
patch, with the more recent link to OpenOffice-3.x dictionaries?
Cheers

You can also use a plain word list. The results are the same, the choice
depends on what word lists you can find.
