My bad. I downloaded it. I could have sworn that I looked for any
kind of instructions, but obviously not.
Pity about not being able to take words out again. I can see that you
can clone.
So I did
j /home/john/aspell: aspell --lang en create master . < wordlist
Warning: The word "people-power" is invalid. The character '-' (U+2D)
may not appear in the middle of a word. Skipping word.
Unhandled Error: The file "/home/john/aspell/dicts/." can not be
opened for writing.
Aborted (core dumped)
Writing on top of a directory is, of course, frowned upon in most circles.
j /home/john/aspell: aspell --lang en create master ./private < wordlist
Warning: The word "people-power" is invalid. The character '-' (U+2D)
may not appear in the middle of a word. Skipping word.
So how do I enter double-barrel words into a dictionary? I guess the
answer is, one doesn't.
j /home/john/aspell: echo CCW|aspell list
Error: The file "/home/john/aspell/private" is not in the proper format.

Guess I messed up again. Now what?
Thanks,
j.
