I have just installed in the sipb locker for vax, rt, decmips, rsaix
and sun4 platforms, hashed ispell dictionaries that are based on a
combination of the words in the current ispell dictionary and the
words in the SIPB webster dictionary.
If you have /mit/sipb/bin in your path before /usr/athena/bin, then
you will get this version of ispell by default. Otherwise, you can
run /mit/sipb/bin/ispell to get it. You will notice that it takes a
bit longer to start up, because the dictionary is much larger, but
besides that, you should not notice anything unusual, other than the
fact that more correctly spelled words will be recognized as such.
The instructions for building this dictionary are in
/mit/sipbsrc/src/ispell/README. It would be nice if Athena picked it
up.
