   --debug            Print debugging info
   --extraflags=s     Allow some non alphabetic flags
   --lowercase=s      Lowercase string
   --myheader=s       Header file
   --printcomments    Print commented lines in output

   --uppercase=s      Uppercase string

DESCRIPTION

ispellaff2myspell is a script that will convert ispell affix tables to myspell format in a more or less successful way.

This script does not create the dict file. Something like

( echo `cat mydict.words+ | wc -l`; cat mydict.words+ ) > mydict.dict

should do the work, with mydict.words+ being the munched wordlist

OPTIONS

--affixfile=s: Affix file. You can put it directly in the command line.
--bylocale: Use current locale setup for upper/lowercase conversion. Make
sure that the selected locale match the dictionary one, or you might get into trouble.
--charset=s: Use specified charset for upper/lowercase conversion (defaults to latin1). Currently allowed values for charset are: latin0, latin1, latin2, latin3.
--debug Print some debugging info.
--extraflags:s: Allows some non alphabetic flags.; When invoked with no value the supported flags are currently
those corresponding to chars represented with the escape char \ as first char. \ will be stripped.; When given with the flag prefix will allow that flag and strip the given prefix. Be careful when giving the prefix to properly escape chars, e.g. you will need -e "\\\\" or -e '\\' for flags like \[ to be stripped to [. Otherwise you might even get errors. Use -e "^" to allow all flags and pass them unmodified.; You will need a call to -e for each flag type, e.g., -e "\\\\" -e "~\\\\" (or -e '\\' -e '~\\').; When a prefix is explicitely set, the default value (anything
starting by \) is disabled and you need to enable it
explicitely as in previous example.
--lowercase=s: Lowercase string. Manually set the string of lowercase chars.
This requires --uppercase having exactly that string but uppercase.
--myheader=s: Header file. The myspell aff header. You need to write it
manually. This can contain everything you want to be before the affix table
--printcomments: Print commented lines in output.
--replacements=file: Add a pre-defined replacements table taken from 'file' to the
.aff file. Will skip lines not beginning with REP, and set the replacements number appropriately.
--split=i: Split flags with more that i entries. This can be of interest
for flags having a lot of entries. Will split the flag in
chunks containing i entries.
--uppercase=s: Uppercase string. Manually set the sring of uppercase chars.
This requires --lowercase having exactly that string but lowercase.
If your encoding is currently unsupported you can send me a file with the two strings of lower and uppercase chars. Note that they must match exactly but case changed. It will look something like: $lowercase='a-zaaaa~aeaaaeceeeeeiiiie`n~oooo~oeouuuueyp';
$uppercase='A-ZAAAA~AeAaCEEEEeIIIIe-N~OOOO~OeOUUUUeYP';
