------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Sep 21 01:15:15 -0700 2006 ------- nemeth: thanks, I'd love to see this script. About the "component": The Hspell project produces not just the word lists, but also a sample implementation of a spell-checker which is very efficient (the entire Hebrew word list is compressed with a general-purpose, non-Hebrew-specific algorithm to 100K on disk, and can be read into memory in a fraction of a second). Alan Yaniger (who I guess is part of the OpenOffice project) took, about two years ago, a snapshot of this code, and a snapshot of the compressed dictionaries, and wrapped it into an openoffice "component". I never understood why this was Linux specific, but I guess that it's mostly because I use zlib to read compressed files, and Windows doesn't have that. Looking at the package you pointed to, I see that it actually contains compiled code - of zlib and of hspell (an ancient snapshot thereof), so obviously it won't run as-is on Windows. You can take the new version of Hspell from our site and try to compile it on Windows to see what breaks. But I think it's better that instead of trying to revive this old "component", we focus on that "secondary compression" thing. One of the primary goals of the Hspell project was to create a full word list that a general-purpose multi-lingual spell-checker (such as ispell, aspell, myspell, hunspell, etc.) could use, and would not need Hebrew-specific algorithms to be inserted into it. Once we released the myspell version of our wordlist (the "openoffice" target in our makefile), this goal became reality. If we'll have "secondary affix compression" of the type you described (and of which I wasn't aware), the dictionary can be drastically shrunk and this would be even better. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
