An Italian Dictionary for Ispell

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marco Roveri developed and maintains an affix file and a dictionary for the
Italian language for International Ispell. They are available via ftp at the
site ftp.mrg.dist.unige.it in the directory /pub/mrg-usr/marco/ispell where
you can also find a Makefile to build the hash file.

The Affix table is a first cut at a description of the common affixes found
in the Italian language. It is definitely not final. This the equivalent of
a pre-alpha version.

The dictionary is not complete either.

This is a starting point. I would appreciate you informing me of errors that
you find in the dictionary and also worthwhile additional words that should
be added. Thus I am requesting you to assist in raising the accuracy of this
dictionary. Please send bug reports or lists of additional words to Marco
Roveri.

What is Ispell? Where can you find it?

International Ispell is an interactive spell-checking program for Unix which
supports a large number of European languages. Ispell is a fast
screen-oriented spelling checker that shows you your errors in the context
of the original file, and suggests possible corrections when it can figure
them out. Compared to UNIX spell, it is faster and much easier to use.
Ispell can also handle languages other than English. Ispell is a very old
program. The current release (with international support) has been created
and maintained by Geoff Kuenning.

Installation Instructions

To install this package you have to check the requirements and follow the

Disclaimer

Use at your own risk. In principle, not many wrong spellings will be
accepted, but since it is so preliminary, ispell will complain about many,
many words.
