hmmm...., uwe, did some googling before work on <myspell nl>. Myspell 
files in dutch are <made> by the dutch (La)Tex community (mainly a 
university-group). you can find them (indeed) as .zip files on the 
openoffice_website; on the page  if you choose <dutch> as a language:  
yes!!! they exist!!! as <nl_NL zip, --hyph.zip> it is all coming from 
the un. of twente, but, of course, this is what you know allready i guess.

as i wrote before: i had problems this last zip.file (nl_NL) of this 
month because there seems to be no thesaurus file: sloppy if my machine 
is not flipped, i thought yesterday.  that is not the case, because i 
was and am able to install an slightly older nl_NL file. so now 
openoffice 1.1.1 works <so far so good>. the specific signs for our 
<geliefde> language haal ik uit (do i get from)  <speciale tekens> 
(special signs?) in 1.1.1. a little clumsy, but it seems that we must 
bleed for being in a small language-area.

kind regards,
