RUN-WITH-ASPELL(1) Aspell Abbreviated User's Manual RUN-WITH-ASPELL(1)NAME
run-with-aspell - script to help use GNU Aspell as an ispell replacement
SYNOPSIS
run-with-aspell <command>
DESCRIPTION
The recommended way to use Aspell as a replacement for Ispell is to change the Ispell command from within the program being used. If that
is not possible, the run-with-aspell script may be used instead.
OPTIONS
<command>
is the name of the program with any optional arguments.
The old method of mapping ispell to Aspell is discouraged because it can create compatibility problems with programs that actually require
ispell such as ispell's own scripts.
SEE ALSO aspell(1), aspell-import(1), word-list-compress(1)
Aspell is fully documented in its Texinfo manual. See the `aspell' entry in info for more complete documentation.

WORD-LIST-COMPRESS(1) Aspell Abbreviated User's Manual WORD-LIST-COMPRESS(1)NAME
word-list-compress - word list compressor/decompressor for GNU Aspell
SYNOPSIS
word-list-compress c[ompress] | d[ecompress]
DESCRIPTION
word-list-compress compresses or decompresses sorted word lists for use with the GNU Aspell spell checker.
COMMANDS -c, c, compress
compress the plain text word list read from standard input.
-d, d, decompress
decompress the compressed word list read from standard input.
EXAMPLES
Here are a few examples of how you can use word-list-compress
word-list-compress d <wordlist.cwl >wordlist.txt
Decompress file wordlist.cwl to text file wordlist.txt
word-list-compress c <wordlist.wl >wordlist.cwl 2>errors.txt
Compress wordlist.wl to wordlist.cwl and send any error messages to a text file named errors.txt
LC_COLLATE=C sort -u <wordlist.txt | word-list-compress c >wordlist.cwl
Sort a word list, then pipe it to word-list-compress to create a compressed binary wordlist.cwl file.
word-list-compress d <words.cwl | aspell create master ./words.rws
Decompress a wordlist, then pipe it to aspell(1) to create a spelling list. Please check the aspell(1) info manual for proper usage
and options.
TIPS
Word-list-compress is best used with sorted word list type files. It is not a general purpose compression program since the resulting
files may actually increase in size.
Word-list-compress accepts up to 255 text characters in the range of {0x21...0xFF}. If your word list requires a larger character set for
certain languages or longer length for multi-word, scientific, medical, technical or other use, then it is recommended that you compress
your word list using prezip-bin(1)DIAGNOSTICS
Word-list-compress normally exits with a return code of 0. If it encounters an error, a message is sent to standard error output (stderr),
and word-list-compress exits with a non-zero return value. Error messages are listed below:
(display help/usage message)
Unknown command given on the command line so word-list-compress displays a usage message to standard error output.
Corrupt Input
This is only for the decompression command d. The input file is of an unknown format or the input file/stream is corrupted. You
may have some valid output, but word-list-compress could not complete the process. If the input file is a compressed wordlist but
you have no output file, then it may be a newer prezip-bin(1) version of compressed file, if so, try decompressing the file with
prezip-bin(1) instead.
Output Data Error
The output is full, write protected, or has an error and can no longer be written to.
