Hello,
That's nice research..
Sorry your proposal was not clear enough for me - do you suggest users to
recompile AW (after editing ispell.h to match settings of their hash file) for
it to be able to work with their hash file or you mean that you found a way to
change macro definitions in ispell.h that will make that module (and
thus AW) loading any .hash file out there without any recompilation after
that (and you suggesting AW developers to change macros in ispell.h as you
propose)?
Thanks.
Best regards,
