NOTE: A special thanks and credit goes to Geoff Kuenning
the creator of ispell.  MySpell's affix algorithms were
based on those of ispell which should be noted is
copyright Geoff Kuenning et.al. and now available
under a BSD style license. For more information on ispell
and affix compression in general, please see:

An almost complete rewrite  of MySpell for use by  
the Mozilla project has been developed by David Einstein 
(Deinst@world.std.com).  David and I are now 
working on parallel development tracks to help 
our respective projects (Mozilla and OpenOffice.org 
and we will maintain full affix file and dictionary 
file compatibility and work on merging our versions 
of MySpell back into a single tree. David has been 
a significant help in improving MySpell.

Special thanks also go to La'szlo' Ne'meth 
(nemethl@gyorsposta.hu) who is the author of the 
Hungarian dictionary and who developed and contributed 
the code to support compound words in MySpell 
and fixed numerous problems with the encoding 
case conversion tables.
