you need to install it at least for installation of the dictionary.
German language has a high affix compression and the dictionary is affix
compressed, so you need to have ispell for decompression. In my opinion
languages like German which have such big dictionaries are not very
useful in conjunction with aspell as long as aspell lacks affix
compression. That's also the reason why I didn't take care of my
dictionary to be up-to-date with the latest aspell development. Kevin,
is affix compression coming soon?

there's nothing wrong with dic2iso (without s). There isn't any s/a"//g,
just a s/a"/ä/g.
Cheers
