From: utzoo!decvax!decwrl!qubix!gary2 Newsgroups: net.general,net.wanted Title: SPELL explanation/replacement Article-I.D.: qubix.206 Posted: Mon Apr 11 14:01:08 1983 Received: Tue Apr 12 05:02:30 1983 I've given up trying to map the explanation in the manual pages on the "spell" utility (spell/spellin/spellout) to reality. Attempts to create an auxiliary dictionary, to be used in conjunction with the system default, or to replace the default with an auxiliary which also contains the system dictionary, have totally failed. Can someone out there reply by mail with either/both of: 1) clarification on how to do either of the above, using spell/spellin/spellout OR 2) reference/source to a replacement which is useable, i.e. which conveniently allows for creation of local additions to the system dictionary? My sincere thanks in advance for any/all assistance. Gary Chappell QUBIX Graphic Systems ...decvax!decwrl!qubix!gary2 ...ittvax!qubix!gary2 ...ucbvax!ucscc!qubix!gary2
