This package contains a few lists of Russian words and an affix file to

be used with a well-known ispell spelling checker.  It may be especially

useful for UNIX users.  However, as the package supports five different

character sets used for Russian, it may be of interest for DOS, OS/2

and Windows users too.

The word lists are based on the list collected about ten years ago by

Neal Dalton.  After removing mistaken words and adding many new rules

and words, the dictionaries contain now over 139,000 basic words and

produce over 1,367,000 related words (compared to 52,000 words in Neal's

version and 952,000 words in the dictionary by K. Knizhnik).

This package seems to be the only one that supports the right spelling

of words with the Russian letter 'yo' (other dictionaries simply

replace the letter 'yo' by 'ye').

Further detailed documentation on the package is in Russian (koi8-r

character set) in README.koi file.
