DESCRIPTION

       ispellaff2myspell is a script that will convert ispell affix tables to myspell format in a more or less
       successful way.

       This script does not create the dict file. Something like

       ( echo `cat mydict.words+ | wc -l`; cat mydict.words+ ) > mydict.dict

       should do the work, with mydict.words+ being the munched wordlist

OPTIONS

       --affixfile=s
               Affix file. You can put it directly in the command line.

       --bylocale
               Use current locale setup for upper/lowercase conversion. Make sure that the selected locale match
               the dictionary one, or you might get into trouble.

       --charset=s
               Use  specified  charset  for  upper/lowercase conversion (defaults to latin1).  Currently allowed
               values for charset are: latin0, latin1, latin2, latin3.

       --debug Print some debugging info.

       --extraflags:s
               Allows some non alphabetic flags.

               When invoked with no value the  supported  flags  are  currently  those  corresponding  to  chars
               represented with the escape char \ as first char. \ will be stripped.

               When  given with the flag prefix will allow that flag and strip the given prefix. Be careful when
               giving the prefix to properly escape chars, e.g. you will need -e "\\\\" or  -e  '\\'  for  flags
               like  \[  to be stripped to [. Otherwise you might even get errors. Use -e "^" to allow all flags
               and pass them unmodified.

               You will need a call to -e for each flag type, e.g., -e "\\\\" -e "~\\\\" (or -e '\\' -e '~\\').

               When a prefix is explicitly set, the default value (anything starting by \) is disabled  and  you
               need to enable it explicitly as in previous example.

       --lowercase=s
               Lowercase  string.  Manually  set the string of lowercase chars. This requires --uppercase having
               exactly that string but uppercase.

       --myheader=s
               Header file. The myspell aff header. You need to write it manually. This can  contain  everything
               you want to be before the affix table

       --printcomments
               Print commented lines in output.

       --replacements=file
               Add  a  pre-defined  replacements  table taken from 'file' to the .aff file.  Will skip lines not
               beginning with REP, and set the replacements number appropriately.

       --split=i
               Split flags with more that i entries. This can be of interest for flags having a lot of  entries.
               Will split the flag in chunks containing i entries.

       --uppercase=s
               Uppercase  string.  Manually  set  the sring of uppercase chars. This requires --lowercase having
               exactly that string but lowercase.

       If your encoding is currently unsupported you can send me a separate file with the two strings  of  lower
       and uppercase chars. Note that they must match exactly but case changed. It will look something like

         $lowercase='a-zàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýþ';
         $uppercase='A-ZÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝÞ';

       A  safer  alternative against accidental recoding is to use octal codes for non 7bit chars. Above strings
       would then look like

         $lowercase='a-z\340\341\342\343\344\345\346\347\350\351\352\353\354\355\356\357\360\361\362\363\364\365\366\370\371\372\373\374\375\376';
         $uppercase='A-Z\300\301\302\303\304\305\306\307\310\311\312\313\314\315\316\317\320\321\322\323\324\325\326\330\331\332\333\334\335\336';
