Subject: Dearbhú litrithe i WordPerfect
 
[GÉ] Tá mé i ndiaidh trí chomhad a fhágáil ar  yeats.csufresno.edu :
          wp{wp}ge.lex
          wp{wp}ga.lex
          wp{wp}gu.lex
Is é atá iontu, lexicons fá choinne dhearbhú litrithe i nGaeilge na
hÉireann agus Gaeilge na hAlban.
 
Chun iad a úsáid, déan mar a leanas:
      - Fáigh na comhaid trí anonymous ftp
         (Is é "mget wp*" an dóigh is fearr - murach sin is dócha go
         gcaithfidh tú "escape" a dhéanamh ar `{' agus `{' sna
         h-ainmeacha.)
      - Cuir na comhaid isteach sa directory WordPerfect agat (m.e. WP51
         más é WordPerfect 5.1 atá agat)
      - Cuir "language code(s)" (ordú Format>Language i WordPerfect)
         isteach sa chaipéis agat - "GE" san áit a bhfuil scríobh i
         nGaeilge na hÉireann ag tosnú, nó GA san áit a bhfuil Gàidhlig
         na hAlban ag tosnú, nó GU san àit a bhfuil Gàidhlig le litriú
         úr ag tosnú.
      - Déan dearbhú litrithe i WordPerfect mar is gnáth.
 
Níl na lexicons seo foirfe in aon chor, ach a mhalairt - tá siad loma-lán
bhearnaí agus bhotún.  Chaith mé le chéile iad i dtréan dheifir anuraidh
nuair a bhíomar ag obair le WordPerfect ag Sabhal Mór Ostaig.  Thiontaigh
sinn ón am sin go Word for Windows agus ní dhearna mé rud ar bith
leo ina dhiaidh sin.  Ba cheart dom iad a thabhairt don stóras GhAELIC-L
fada ó shin.
 
Creidim nach bhfuil dóigh ar bith ann i Word for Windows chun "main
lexicon" mar sin de do chuid féin a dhéanamh, fiú amháin i Word 6.
Má tá fios ag duine go bhfuil seo cearr, go n-inse tú dom!
 
Cuid mhór de na focail Ghaeilge na hÉireann, tháinig siad ó leabhar
a scríobh Ciarán Ó Duibhín isteach sa ríomhaire agus a chuir sé
chugam blianta ó shin.
 
Abair liom má tá deacracht agat na comhaid a fháil trí ftp ó
yeats.csufresno.edu.  B'fhéidir go mbeadh sé níos fearr iad a PKZIPú
le chéile chun an `{' agus `}' a sheachnú.  Más maith leat go gcuirfinn
ar GAELIC-L féin iad, abair liom, agus abair liom cén coding a b'fhearr
leat - BOO-encode nó UU-encode nó XX-encode - Tá deacrachtaí ag baint
leo uilig.
 
[BE] I have just placed three spell check lexicon files in the uploads
directory on yeats, as described above.  Ftp the files ("mget wp*" is
the best method because it saves escaping the `{' and `}' characters);
put them in your WordPerfect system directory; put language codes
(Shift+F8 > Language in WordPerfect) in your document as appropriate -
GE for Irish Gaelic, GA for Scottish Gaelic or GU for Scottish Gaelic
with new spelling; then you should be able to spell check as normal in
WordPerfect.
 
The lexicons are far from perfect - they are just thrown together in a hurry
so as to have something available.  The "Gàidhlig Ùr" (GU) in particular
is a pure farce - I just edited all acutes in GA to graves!  And I think
I must have lost some of the lexicon I had built up - we have switched from
WordPerfect to Word for Windows at SMO and the files have been neglected.
If anyone knows how to construct your own *main* spell-check lexicon in
Word, let me know.  I don't think it is possible.
 
Let me know if you have difficulty fetching the files.
