    The index file has been changed for AlphaSpell VI.

    This dictionary is based on an archive I found on SimTel called
nlword10.zip. The original archive contains 26 files, nl.a, nl.b, ...,
nl.z. These were plain text files using the IBM character set, and sorted
alphabetically. To construct this dictionary, I removed the carriage
returns, converted the non-ascii characters from IBM to ISO, resorted the
files, and fed them all into a single file. The total number of words in
the dictionary is approximately 220,000.

    If you find any mistakes in the dictionary, don't write to me. I don't
know any Dutch. This dictionary is not maintained by me. It based on a
dictionary maintained by Erik Frambach. Please send any comments on
misspelled or missing words to him. His address is:

    Here is what he wrote in his original readme file:

This Dutch dictionary contains 26 files, NL.A, NL.B, ..., NL.Z.
Each file contains words that start with the letter indicated by
the file extension.
The files are plain text files, the words are in extended ASCII,
each word is on a separate line, and they are sorted alfabetically
per file. The total number of words is approximately 220,000.

This is version 1.0 of the Dutch dictionary.
