ispellaff2myspell: A program to convert ispell affix tables to myspell format
(C) 2002-2005 Agustin Martin Domingo <agustin.martin@hispalinux.es>         License: GPL

Usage:
	ispellaff2myspell [options] <affixfile>

      Options:
	--affixfile=s      Affix file
	--bylocale         Use current locale setup for upper/lowercase
                           conversion
	--charset=s        Use specified charset for upper/lowercase
                           conversion (defaults to latin1)
 	--debug            Print debugging info
 	--extraflags       Allow some non alphabetic flags
	--lowercase=s      Lowercase string
        --myheader=s       Header file
	--printcomments    Print commented lines in output
        --replacements=s   Replacements file
        --split=i          Split flags with more that i entries
	--uppercase=s      Uppercase string
	--wordlist=s       Still unused

  Currently allowed valued for charset are: latin1, latin2, latin3

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 ispell munched wordlist
