ConvertDic - this is capable of converting 'older' openoffice .dic format into plain list of words. It is at the moment a halfbaked code - especially, there is no check for source codepage. Any improvements are welcome.

I don't have .dic, I have .dat. Actually I have zip files.

Note: We are not using openoffice files directly in RichEdit simply because I do not know how to make spellchecker efficient with them... .udc format is simple, but surprisingly effective. E.g. it compresses 400MB basque dictionary into 6MB file Smile

Efficient as in size?

TheIDE? Why?

Do you think there are many good C++ programmers in the world not knowing English at the level required to use theide?

No, but I can say the same for Notepad or other applications, and people still want them internationalized. Especialy if every single application is in a language, the one odd English one sure stands out.
