>From the spell makefile (I have used it this way and it works
nicely).
	hlist: /usr/dict/words spellin
		spellin </usr/dict/words >hlist
	hlista: american local hlist spellin
		(cat american local)|spellin hlist >hlista
	hlistb: british local hlist spellin
		(cat british local)|spellin hlist >hlistb
	hstop: stop spellin
		spellin <stop >hstop

where hlist is the initial list, hlist[ab] are the american and
british spelling lists created by adding anomalous entries to the
basic list, and hstop is the list to catch spelling errors which
otherwise look like valid prefix/suffix extensions from valid entries.

		Good Luck!
