CATALAN DICTIONARY FOR ISPELL - Version 0.1 - November 1998

The original package is build of 4 files:
catala
catala.aff
catala.hash
catala.munchlist

Installing "catala.hash" in "/usr/lib/ispell", or in whatever site required
you can use the dictionary to correct a text by typing: 

                  ispell -d catala <file_name>

File catala is a copy of all the words contained in the dictioonary, 
from an original list by Joan Dol. Is thas been compressed in its 
affixes in file catala.munchlist.

Affix list can be found in catala.aff.

I hope to have time to update the dictionary and modify and fix the 
affix file. There is still a lot of work to be done, so any problem 
notification, suggestion or modification are welcome.

KNOWN PROBLEMS:

- In a LaTeX file it has problems with apostrophed l (l geminada). 
  Is detected as an error and sugests the same word. Best option is to 
  ignore that error if the word is one of the suggested.

- Verbal modes are done up to the regular verbs of the 3rd mode, but 
  without all the elements specific to valencian (I do not know them 
  correctly). I did some work with those of the 1st mode.

- Need to add all possible words with apostrophe or dash that are 
  currently not present.

I would acknowledge to receive lists of words you find missing in the 
dictionary. I also have in mind to create lists of words specific to 
different fields.
