Obviously.
Aspell has its manual in just about every format but man page.
Which is a little silly. Man pages and info pages are the basic help
tools.
Write the aspell devs and tell them so ;)
It's not my prerogative to write manuals for morons.
I thought you were offering to do it. Did I misunderstand you or did
you mean that you were offering to write documentation that wouldn't be
of use to the people who actually need it?
I was being facetious to humor myself (hopefully not the only one humored). =)
That docu already exists other places, so there's no need to reinvent the wheel.
Now you're insisting that functionality has to be perfect before it can
be added.
Nope. I said previously that if it's not already perfect, then there should be
an _option_ to not use it.
Given the ability to support timezones the best solution is to
automatically generate a list of all of them that can be stripped down
if desired rather than to ship it with a very limited number and leave
it to each and every person who requires a full list to compile all the
information by hand or spend time writing a script to do it.
It's a great idea and a great tool. Hope to see it stabilized on lots more
platforms. I'd love to use it.
Perhaps if you said why it didn't work you'd find that the next
version of it would work on your system.
