-
-
-<hr>
-
-<p>The most important file available here contains a list of 750 000
-Norwegian words. Each word is marked with a number indicating the
-commonness of that word. Compound words are hyphenated at their
-compound points. Some words are marked as belonging to a specific
-classes; mathematics, oil, conservative language, 'samnorsk' etc.
-Words marked with a star are allowed in Nynorsk.
-
-<p>This file is usable to several things:
-<ul>
-<li>Making dictionaries for the Ispell program of different sizes,
-choosing which words to include in a sensible way.
-
-<li>Making Norwegian dictionaries for word processors that doesn't
-have one, again with a sensible subset of words.
-
-<li>Making new and better hyphenation patterns for TeX.
-
-<li>Text-recognition (OCR) programs.
-
-<li>Encourage the e-TeX team to implement multi-level hyphenation in
-TeX.
-
-<li>Encourage people to use frequency-information when they write
-programs making suggestions for replacements for misspelled words.
-
-</ul>
-
-<p>Routines for the first three items on the above list is included in
-the Makefiles. The last three was too hard to implement in Make.
-
-<H3>Requirements</H3>
-
-
-<ul>
-<li><b>Ispell</b><br>
-For the ispell-related stuff, you need the ispell program, and you can
-get it from the
-<A
-HREF="http://ficus-www.cs.ucla.edu/ficus-members/geoff/ispell.html">
-ispell home-page</A>. You can also find dictionaries for a lot of
-languages there.
-
-You also need the version of the look program in <a
-href="ftp://ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/">util-linux-2.9</a>.
-Older versions have a bug which shows up when searching dictionaries
-with non-English characters. Ispell uses look to complete words
-(ispell-complete-word). If you don't plan to have a Norwegian words
-file for lookup, you don't need to worry about the Look program.
-
-<li><b>Emacs</b><br>
-
-If you want to use ispell from Emacs, i recommend upgrading to the
-latest version of <A
-HREF="ftp://kdstevens.com/pub/stevens/ispell.el.gz"> ispell.el</A>.
-This version supports Norwegian, and it has become clean to include
-local dictionary definitions. It is almost like the version included
-in in Emacs-20.4. There is also an add-on to ispell.el,
-<A HREF="http://kaolin.unice.fr/~serrano/emacs/flyspell">
-flyspell.el</A>, written by <A href="http://kaolin.unice.fr/~serrano">
-Manuel Serrano</A> available, offering better `on-the-fly'
-spell-checking. An old version is included in emacs-20.3, but you
-would like to have the new version with important speed improvements.
-
-<li><b>(La)TeX</b><br>
-
-If you want to make your own hyphenation patterns for TeX (you
-probably don't), you need a version of the patgen program with greater
-capacities than standard versions, e.g. you have to compile patgen
-with a different patgen.ch. See the patterns/Makefile for more
-information. Almost every TeX distribution contains the patgen
-program. I recommend <a
-href="ftp://ftp.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/pub/local/misc/teTeX-beta/">teTeX</a>.
-If you want both kinds of hyphenation in the same TeX format, you
-probably need to recompile TeX due to capacity problems. Again, this
-is easy with teTeX.
-
-</ul>
-
-
-<h3>Distribution</h3>
-
-<p>The distribution <a
-href="http://www.uio.no/~runekl/ispell-norsk-2.0.tar.gz">ispell-norsk-2.0.tar.gz</a>
-(2204k) is free in the GPL sense and contains these files:
-
-<ul>
-<li><b><a href="README">README</a></b><br>
-How to make ispell and emacs work with these dictionaries.
-
-<li><b>words.norsk.sq</b><br> This file contains the Norwegian words and
-the indication of their commonness compressed with the sq program.
-
-<li><b>norsk.aff.in</b><br> A template for the affix file for the
-Norwegian language. This file is made for ispell with 64 maskbits
-that understands HTML. Most pre-made versions of ispell supports only
-32 maskbits and don't understand HTML. Use the patch and recompile
-ispell, or delete the html-related stuff.
-
-<li><b>Ispell-3.1.20.no.patch</b><br>A patch for ispell-3.1 that adds
-the amsmath and breqn environments to the skip-list and fixes a bug in
-buildhash. It also makes ispell html-aware, and tries to fix `the
-backslash bug'. In addition it makes ispell suggest "- as a compound
-word mark when seeing an unknown compound word, but only in TeX mode
-if the dictionary is named norsk. This is an ugly hack that works for
-me. It also implement the -r flag which is like the -a flag, but the
-suggestions are printed even if the word is found in the dictionary.
-
-<li><b>norsk.single.tex</b><br>This is a set of hyphenation patterns
-for TeX that works well on non-compound words. It is used when making
-the new hyphenation patterns for TeX. This file is basically made
-from nohyph3.tex, a hyphenation file I released May 1998. But a lot of
-errors have been removed by comparing its action on the single words
-by the action of <a
-href="ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/language/hyphenation/nohyph.tex">nohyph.tex</a>
-(standard in teTeX), <a
-href="ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/language/hyphenation/nohyph2.tex">nohyph2.tex</a>,
-and the unreleased hyphenation patterns by Simen Gaure used at the <a
-href="http://www.math.uio.no/index.html">Department of
-Mathematics</a>, <a href="http://www.uio.no/index.html">University of
-Oslo</a>. I have tried to follow the rules given in <a
-href="ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/language/hyphenation/nohyph.tex">nohyph.tex</a>,
-at least where I find it reasonable. Bear in mind that there is no
-authoritative source for hyphenation in Norwegian. Please get in
-touch if you want to help improving the Norwegian hyphenation
-patterns.
-
-<li><b><a href="norsk.cfg">norsk.cfg</a></b><br> An
-addition to Babel-3.6 for LaTeX that makes the character " active and
-offers you many `different' hyphen signs. You can say o"ppussing in
-LaTeX to get correct hyphenation opp-pussing! This functionality will
-appear in Babel-3.7 for Norwegian. Danish and Swedish have had it for
-several years.
-
-<li><b><a href="inorsk-compwordsmaybe">inorsk-compwordsmaybe</a></b><br>
-Search for words in a file or from standard input that maybe should be
-written in one word. Like `matematikk lærer' etc.
-
-<li><b><a href="inorsk-hyphenmaybe">inorsk-hyphenmaybe</a></b><br>
-Search for words in a file from from standard input that the Norwegian
-hyphenation patterns from this distribution might not hyphenate
-properly. Incorrect hyphenation of words not printed is considered to
-be a bug in the patterns. There is only a finite number of them.
-
-<li><b>Makefile</b><br> This file contains rules for making
-dictionaries for ispell and lists of the most common words for dumb
-word processors. There is also a Makefile in the patterns directory
-for making hyphenation patterns.
-
-<li><b><a href="nohyphbc.tex">nohyphbc.tex</a></b>, <b><a
-href="nohyphb.tex">nohyphb.tex</a></b><br> This
-is the hyphenation patterns for TeX. The file nohyphbc.tex hyphenates
-only at compound points. The nohyphb.tex hyphenates each component of
-a word too, but avoiding to hyphenate 'near' compound points. I think
-'bar-nepsykologen' looks really bad. Too bad TeX doesn't support
-multi-level hyphenation yet.<br>
-
-
-The naming of the files follow the paradigm in Babel; if a replacement
-for a file foo.bar is offered, it is named foob.bar, where the b
-stands for big.
-
-These new patterns easily outpreforms those available before, mostly
-because of better compound word hyphenation. For reference I have
-made lists of about 2000 compound word errors made by previous
-patterns: <a href="err.nohyph">err.nokyph</a> and <a href="err.nohyph2">
-err.nokyph2</a>.

-The size of the patterns can be argued over. The patterns are copied
-into each format file, thus occupying some disk space. They also
-limit the number of languages one can load hyphenation patterns for on
-most TeX systems. But size considerations has become less important
-recent years, so I prefer to focus on getting things right, not small.
-It is also possible to recompile teTeX such that there is more room
-for hyphenation patterns, but the patterns take up more memory then.
-There is surely a lot of unnessesary structure within the hyphenation
-patterns , but it is very time-consuming to remove. The file
-patterns/Makefile can be configured, such that one can make smaller
-sets of patterns, taking only the most common words into
-concideration. Everyone is invited to play.

-<h3>Changes</h3>
-
-<p>There has been a lot of changes since version 1.1a. The quality has
-improved a lot, and the structure of the distribution is completely
-new. Therefore i choose not to make the previous versions available
-from this site.
-
-<p>Here is a rough summary of the changes:
-
-<ul>
-
-<li>New distribution format
-
-<li>Support for Nynorsk
-
-<li>Commonness indicator for each word from Bokmål
-
-<li>Words are hyphenated at their compound points
-
-<li>A lot of common words added, especially compound words
-
-<li>Makefile completly rewritten. It is possible to configure the
-size of the dictionary for ispell without beaking the munching.
-
-<li>Makefile to make hyphenation patterns for TeX added
-
-<li>The pregenerated TeX patterns are included in the distribution.
-
-<li>Controlled compoundwords support added. This includes affix file
-updates.
-
-<li>Some uncommon and misspelled words removed
-
-<li>Affix file updated for html. This will only work if you use the patch.
-
-</ul>
-
-<h3>Todo list</h3>
-
+<h2><a name="Information"></a></h2>
+<h2>Information</h2>
+This will be the new information site for the bokm&aring;l and nynorsk
+spellchecker data for aspell, ispell and myspell.<br>
+This page will continue the good work done by Rune Kleveland.<br>
+<br>
+The plan is as follows:<br>
<ul>
-
-<li>Remove/mark uncommon words that are close to common words. If you
-type 're' you probably meant 'er', even if 're' is a valid word.
-
-<li>There are too many words with commonness 0. Split this group in
-two.
-
-<li>Some words in the basic category belongs in special categories.
-When making a small dictionary with all words from mathematics, many
-such words are missing, since they are in the basic category. They
-should be moved.
-
-<li>Make ispell sort the suggested replacements for misspelled words
-by commonness of the suggested words. One (easy) way to do this is to
-make an external file containing the most common words, and make
-ispell look into that file each time it has more than one suggestion.
-Or the file could be read into memory. (I don't think frequency
-information is representable within the root/affix structure, since
-one flag can represent multiple words.) This would slow ispell down a
-little bit, but only when it makes suggestions. If you would like to
-help with this, please get in touch.
-
+ <li>Make release of aspell, myspell and ispell packages.</li>
+ <li>Make all the distributions use the same source</li>
+ <li>Improve the Nynorsk wordlist to contain more words, here we hope
+to get help from the An Gramadoir project.</li>
</ul>
-
-<p>Comments, suggestions and bug-reports to <a
-href="mailto:runekl@opoint.com">runekl@opoint.com</a>. If you have
-or want to make a correct dictionary from some field of knowledge, i
-would like to include it in the next release. See the <a
-href="README">README</a> file for some
-suggestions about how to get started. All you need is a large amount
-of Norwegian text from the field in question and some time to organize
-the dictionary.<p>

+Search for words in a file from from standard input that the Norwegian
+hyphenation patterns from this distribution might not hyphenate
+properly. Incorrect hyphenation of words not printed is considered to
+be a bug in the patterns. There is only a finite number of them.
+
+<li><b>Makefile</b><br> This file contains rules for making
+dictionaries for ispell and lists of the most common words for dumb
+word processors. There is also a Makefile in the patterns directory
+for making hyphenation patterns.
+
+<li><b><a href="nohyphbc.tex">nohyphbc.tex</a></b>, <b><a
+href="nohyphb.tex">nohyphb.tex</a></b><br> This
+is the hyphenation patterns for TeX. The file nohyphbc.tex hyphenates
+only at compound points. The nohyphb.tex hyphenates each component of
+a word too, but avoiding to hyphenate 'near' compound points. I think
+'bar-nepsykologen' looks really bad. Too bad TeX doesn't support
+multi-level hyphenation yet.<br>
+
+
+The naming of the files follow the paradigm in Babel; if a replacement
+for a file foo.bar is offered, it is named foob.bar, where the b
+stands for big.
+
+These new patterns easily outpreforms those available before, mostly
+because of better compound word hyphenation. For reference I have
+made lists of about 2000 compound word errors made by previous
+patterns: <a href="err.nohyph">err.nokyph</a> and <a href="err.nohyph2">
+err.nokyph2</a>.
+<br>
+
+The size of the patterns can be argued over. The patterns are copied
+into each format file, thus occupying some disk space. They also
+limit the number of languages one can load hyphenation patterns for on
+most TeX systems. But size considerations has become less important
+recent years, so I prefer to focus on getting things right, not small.
+It is also possible to recompile teTeX such that there is more room
+for hyphenation patterns, but the patterns take up more memory then.
+There is surely a lot of unnessesary structure within the hyphenation
+patterns , but it is very time-consuming to remove. The file
+patterns/Makefile can be configured, such that one can make smaller
+sets of patterns, taking only the most common words into
+concideration. Everyone is invited to play.

+<h3>Changes</h3>
+
+<p>There has been a lot of changes since version 1.1a. The quality has
+improved a lot, and the structure of the distribution is completely
+new. Therefore i choose not to make the previous versions available
+from this site.
+
+<p>Here is a rough summary of the changes:
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>New distribution format
+
+<li>Support for Nynorsk
+
+<li>Commonness indicator for each word from Bokmål
+
+<li>Words are hyphenated at their compound points
+
+<li>A lot of common words added, especially compound words
+
+<li>Makefile completly rewritten. It is possible to configure the
+size of the dictionary for ispell without beaking the munching.
+
+<li>Makefile to make hyphenation patterns for TeX added
+
+<li>The pregenerated TeX patterns are included in the distribution.
+
+<li>Controlled compoundwords support added. This includes affix file
+updates.
+
+<li>Some uncommon and misspelled words removed
+
+<li>Affix file updated for html. This will only work if you use the patch.
+
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Todo list</h3>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>Remove/mark uncommon words that are close to common words. If you
+type 're' you probably meant 'er', even if 're' is a valid word.
+
+<li>There are too many words with commonness 0. Split this group in
+two.
+
+<li>Some words in the basic category belongs in special categories.
+When making a small dictionary with all words from mathematics, many
+such words are missing, since they are in the basic category. They
+should be moved.
+
+<li>Make ispell sort the suggested replacements for misspelled words
+by commonness of the suggested words. One (easy) way to do this is to
+make an external file containing the most common words, and make
+ispell look into that file each time it has more than one suggestion.
+Or the file could be read into memory. (I don't think frequency
+information is representable within the root/affix structure, since
+one flag can represent multiple words.) This would slow ispell down a
+little bit, but only when it makes suggestions. If you would like to
+help with this, please get in touch.
+
+</ul>

+href="mailto:runekl@opoint.com">runekl@opoint.com</a>. If you have
+or want to make a correct dictionary from some field of knowledge, i
+would like to include it in the next release. See the <a
+href="README">README</a> file for some
+suggestions about how to get started. All you need is a large amount
+of Norwegian text from the field in question and some time to organize
+the dictionary.<p>
