	Does anyone know the file format of the unhashed, raw word-list used
to make the spelling database (/usr/lib/spell/hlista in SCO Unix).  
Specifically, what notations are used to indicate variations on a base word?
i.e. s, es, ed, ing, tion ... .  Or is it done by the spell program and no
special notation is needed in the word-list?

	I was checking out the GNU dict file.  It uses a notation.  There
wasn't any documentation with dict.shar.Z.  Does anyone know anything about
it?  

	I got my spell program with Open Desktop - so I don't have TFM.  Is
it documented better in SCO's Text Processing System?

	Please email any replys  - I don't get this group anymore.  Thanks
for any help.
