Hi Ken, Thanks for the offer and information. I found some info at: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Configuring_aspell_on_Mac_OS_Xthat explains how to install a Darwin port of Aspell on Mac OSX. I'll do some more research.
The tribal culture committees are very cautious about distribution of language materials as some materials have been misused in the past. Although the dictionaries will be free, as with the fonts and keyboards I created, they generally limit distribution to tribal organizations and individuals. I'll need to set up a system for them to generate the dictionaries themselves as they are still working with linguists to refine a number of words.

I do have word lists for each language.Thanks for clearing this point for me. In this case, you would probably want towork in a Unix-like environment, start withhttp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-lang-20040810.tar.bz2 and generate a dictionary similar to the ones under http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/ dict/ .I suspect it is possible under Mac, but I have no idea.If you are releasing the dictionary under a free license, I (and probably others on this list) would be willing to give this conversion a trial myself. If youwant that, please contact me off-list. --Dan Kenigsberg http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~danken ICQ 162180901
