Hi,

	What's the expected dictionary order for spell. We're
trying to generate a spanish dictionary and it seems that the generated
dictionary is not sorted according to what sprog expects.

Any clue?

thanks

PS: We are using non ASCII characters like áé...,
which might be causing the problems

well they are ascii, but with diacritics, unlike swedish.

if i'm lucky a can type these: °a, ä ,ö

nope, but stick the ° above the a.  they are real characters and
collate after z, in the order i typed.

all vowels.

I don't know for Plan 9, but for UNIX (through SVR4) it has
always been the order produced by a simple application of "sort".

I tried that and didn't work. Probably because the file has
accented letters in it (eg.: áñé...) it seems that such thing
hurts sprog.
