I answer only to the mailing-list in order you don't receive this
message twice (and Chris too). I hope it's right.

I seen that the package comes from openoffice.org-dictionaries (it's
on web page about hunspell-fr which I refered to) but I didn't know if
you change words in the dictionaries or not. I understand well why you
don't want to modify dictionaries or manage such work and it's right.

I really thank you for your reply which helped me to understand better
how it works and what I should do with this dictionary. It's time for
me to try something with these new informations.


Thanks and have a nice week!
