  • Subject: Looking for an English Dictionary
  • From: bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx
  • Date: Wed, 30 May 01 12:29:15 CDT

Spelling dictionaries are often found in library QDCT and/or directory
/QIBM/ProdData/Dictionary if products such as 5716-DCT (Language
Dictionaries for OS/400) or 5769DL1 (Dictionaries and Linguistic Tools)
are installed.  Users can also create their own dictionaries using
system commands such as CRTSPADCT (Create Spelling Aid Dictionary).
The dictionaries are not installed as part of OfficeVision, and can be
used independent of OV with OS/400 APIs such as Check Spelling (QTWCHKSP).

Note that the dictionary object is not a simple text file that one can
simply look at to see what words may be in it.
