Short: Dutch dictionary for AlphaSpell Author: Fergus Duniho and Erik Frambach Uploader: fdnh troi cc rochester edu Type: text/misc Architecture: generic The index file has been changed for AlphaSpell VI. This dictionary is based on an archive I found on SimTel called nlword10.zip. The original archive contains 26 files, nl.a, nl.b, ..., nl.z. These were plain text files using the IBM character set, and sorted alphabetically. To construct this dictionary, I removed the carriage returns, converted the non-ascii characters from IBM to ISO, resorted the files, and fed them all into a single file. The total number of words in the dictionary is approximately 220,000. If you find any mistakes in the dictionary, don't write to me. I don't know any Dutch. This dictionary is not maintained by me. It based on a dictionary maintained by Erik Frambach. Please send any comments on misspelled or missing words to him.
