Description : Dutch dictionary and language support for aspell
This package provides a dutch dictionary and a language file for use with the aspell spelling checker.
The word list has been compiled from a number of sources:
1. The list used in the aspell-nl-0.1.rpm package. The main reason I
decided to build the present package is that I could not find a
tarball distribution of this rpm and that some ``exceptions'' from
the official lists seemed to be missing.
2. The lists in the official announcement (1996) about spelling changes.
3. The list by Piet Tutelaers available on http://www.ntg.nl/spell-nl-v5b/.
The full word list (approx. 222K words) is available as a text file dutch.words in the distribution. The language definition is in the file dutch.dat.
The license is a bit unclear. I will contact upstream about this.
