This word list is considered accurate but incomplete.

This is the Persian dictionary for Aspell.  It requires Aspell 

version 0.60 or better.

If Aspell is installed and aspell and prezip-bin are all

in the path first do a:

  ./configure

Which should output something like:

  Finding Dictionary file location ... /usr/local/lib/aspell

  Finding Data file location ... /usr/local/share/aspell

if it did not something likely went wrong.

After that build the package with:

  make

and then install it with

  make install

If any of the above mentioned programs are not in your path than the

variables, ASPELL and/or PREZIP need to be set to the

commands (with path) to run the utilities.  These variables may be set

in the environment before configure is run or specified at the command

line using the following syntax

  ./configure --vars VAR1=VAL1 ...

Other useful variables configure recognizes are ASPELL_PARMS, and DESTDIR.

To clean up after the build:

  make clean

To uninstall the files:

  make uninstall

After the dictionaries are installed you can use the main one (fa) by

setting the LANG environmental variable to fa or running Aspell

with "--lang=fa".  You may also chose the dictionary directly

with the "-d" or "--master" option of Aspell.  You can chose from any of

the following dictionaries:

  fa (farsi persian)

  fa-common (farsi-common persian-common)

  fa-generic (farsi-generic persian-generic)

  fa-scientific (farsi-scientific persian-scientific)

Whereas the names in parentheses are alternate names for the

dictionary preceding the parentheses.

The individual word lists have an extension of ".cwl" and are

compressed to save space.  To uncompress a word list use 

"preunzip BASE.cwl" which will uncompress it and rename the file 

to "BASE.wl".  To dump a compressed word list to standard output use

"precat BASE.cwl".  To uncompress all word lists in the current

directory use "preunzip *.cwl".  For more help on "preunzip" use

"preunzip --help".

If you have any problem with installing or using the word lists please

let the Aspell maintainer, Kevin Atkinson, know at kevina@gnu.org.

If you have problems with the actual word lists please contact one of

the Word lists authors as the Aspell maintainer does not maintain the

actual Word Lists.

Any additional documentation that came with the original word list can

be found in the doc/ directory.
