over a year and a 1/2 ago the dialog went thusly:

Sometime around the end of 1999 there was a Ukrainian dictionary which appeared
on a server in Ukraine. It is in the KOI8 encoding. You can find it here:
ftp://cad.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua/soft/lingvist/UkrIspell/
or here:
http://www.physics.mcgill.ca/WWW/oleh/emacs/ispell.html
I downloaded it, wrote a perl script for converting it to cp1251 (available on
my website) and converted the dictionary to cp1251.
I'll also make both things available at brama.com for those who might be
interested.
I also setup a Ukrainian language locale on my RH6.2 server using the following
command:
localedef -c -f CP1251 -i uk_UA -u mnemonic.ds /usr/share/locale/uk_UA.cp1251
I then put the following lines in my conf files
locale: uk_UA.cp1251
lang_dir: ${common_dir}/ukrainian
bad_words_list: ${lang_dir}/ukr_badwords
endings_affix_file: ${lang_dir}/ukrainian.aff
The funny thing (head scratching) is that I'm not totally convinced that the
dictionary is necessary. I mean there are about 40,000 words in the dictionary,
but I can use case insensitive search terms for words which don't occur there.
I guess this is still one of the things which I don't fully understand about the
configuration of htdig.
Anyway, I'm very pleased with the results so far.
