WinEdt Dictionaries
===================

_______________________________________________________________________

DISCLAIMER: None of WinEdt's dictionary creators/ maintainers take
any responsibility for problems, if any, caused by WinEdt or the
dictionaries.

The following dictionaries were originally compiled from public
domain sources for the amSpell spell-checker by Erik Frambach
(e-mail: e.h.m.frambach@eco.rug.nl):

    ftp://frambach.eco.rug.nl/4tex/spell/

          DE  = German
          ES  = Spanish
          FR  = French
          IT  = Italian (see IT.TXT)
          NL1 = Dutch (new spelling)
          NL2 = Dutch (old spelling)
          UK  = English (UK)
          US  = English (US)

I have further modified these dictionaries for use with WinEdt:
  The dictionaries are decompressed, translated from OEM to Windows
  Character set, and sorted by WinEdt's Dictionary Manager.

The dictionary DE2 contains properly capitalized German words.
De3addon.zip contains the corrections and additions to DE2. Both
files were compiled and contributed by Robert Lieske (e-mail:
robert@summa.physik.hu-berlin.de). Robert also uploaded the tools
he was using to compile this dictionary in
"...dict/support/tools.zip".
_______________________________________________________________________

WinEdt's default dictionary is "winedt.dic" in WinEdt base
directory. This is a very basic English Dictionary compiled by me
over the last few years mostly for entertainment purposes (solving
word puzzles in the newspaper). You will likely find this
dictionary inadequate for serious work. In that case you can
download any of the dictionaries in this directory and load it
with WinEdt Dictionary Manager. Note that you can Edit, Merge and
Sort Dictionaries through WinEdt/ Options/ Dictionary Dialog.

WinEdt can only use one dictionary (word-list) at a time and added
words get inserted into the loaded dictionary. For special
purposes you should consider making a working copy of the
dictionary (note that you can merge dictionaries for different
languages)...
_______________________________________________________________________

At the moment, WinEdt has registered users in 24 countries. It is
impossible for me to collect and maintain dictionaries for all
these languages. However, should you (the user) compile a
dictionary that might be of interest to other WinEdt users and you
are willing to share it with others, please let me know. I welcome
contributions that can be added to this directory (with the
appropriate credit and copyright notice).
