Your 3rd possibility brings to mind a 4th one I heard about a few years ago. Some ispell affix files make use of "altstringchar" to define a sequence of ASCII characters that can be used in the dictionary file to represent an accented character. If Dominique's francais.0 dictionary uses these, that could be the problem. There was a patch posted to the mailing list back in June of 2000, which added a hack to the endings algorithm to support these, for latin1 only. The patch was for 3.1.5, so I don't know how well it'll work for 3.1.6 or the 3.2 betas. For some reason, it never made it into the patch archive, but it's available here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05248.html The only way to know for sure which of the 4 possibilities is the correct one would be to look at the dictionary and affix file Dominique used to generate the endings database. -- Gilles R.
