In the case that there is a source dictionary it should be available on
the net by following the Wordlist URL link in the README. However, in
many cases the Aspell dictionary _is_ the source dictionary, there is no
other source. In the cases where there is a source dictionary, the Aspell
dictionary may not be easily created from the source dictionary. There
are several reasons for this:
1) The source dictionary does not provide a way to create the Aspell
dictionary package. In these cases I generally create the Aspell
dictionary manually. If I have to do anything abnormal I try to
document what I did in the doc/ directory.
2) There is an Aspell target but what it creates has errors. In which
case I often modify the generated files manually to correct the
problem. Again, I try to document what I had to do in the doc/
directory.
