DITECT file "dtdflt.cfg"

adaptable by user:

exfile=   Definition of special exception dictionaries.

          DITECT uses standard exception file "DTEXnn.TXT" and "DTEXnn.CAT"
          automatically.
          When user wants to switch it off or to add one or more other files,
          he may define this by using the "exfile=" parameter as follows:

          exfile=  +specf1 specf2;
             Use standard plus "specf1" and "specf2" for exception search.

          exfile=  =specf1 specf2;
             Don't use standard exception file but "specf1" and "specf2"
             for exception search only.

          specf1  means file "specf1.txt" and "specf1.cat".
          specf2  means file "specf2.txt" and "specf2.cat".

          Lenght of file name(s) e.g. "specf1" must be >= 5 characters.
          For every exception file defined in "exfile= " the value of
          "excspac" in that DTnn line must be increased by 2000 !


minwl=    Minimum length of words: shorter words are not checked.


minkl=    Minimum length of word compounds (see: mexsw)
          When DITECT does not recognize a word it tries to compose the
          word by combining smaller words of minimum length "minkl".
          As DITECT does not know the connecting points within the combined
          word, it starts with the error-position to check if the rest of
          the word is stored in dictionary a.s.o.
          So sometimes a composition cannot be succesful !


prbs=     Proposal list:   0= off,  1= on
          When "on" DITECT displays max. 20 words showing correct writings
          for a misspelled word. This list of 'proposals' always starts
          withthe one with the best fitting-percentage.
          The search for proposals is different in accuracy depending on
usuk=     that may be defined as follows, where (x) in brackets is the no.
          of the word's start letters to access the relevant file record:
           0   (ab) the search ends with greater words in sorting sequence.
               This means a small no. of records is searched.
           2   (ab) the search only ends when start letters change.
               This means a greater no. of records is searched.
           4   (a) like =2 but checks all records with that start letter.
               This means a huge no. of records is searched.
           8   (abc) or more start letters depending on catalog.
               It searches one directly accessed record only.

               Proposal accurary / program performance:
               ----------------------------------------
               2  default value.
               0  a little bit faster but less accurate.
               4  highest accuracy but slowest program performance !
               8  worst accuracy but very fast.

          +1   display refused words (with ending***).
               First line of proposal list with ending*** shows that this
               word is refused by user (stored in exception dictionary).
          +1   means select 0, 2, 4 or 8 and add 1 e.g.:  usuk=3;


ftmp=     Exception storage:
             0  off.
             1  short-term. An unknown word stored by user is not marked
                further on in text.
             2  medium- and short-term. Same as before but the word is also
                stored medium-term for later usage in exception dictionary.
            +4  delete short-term-file on end-of-article/text/day.
            +4  means select 0, 1 or 2 and add 4 e.g.:  ftmp=6;


csch=     Check capital-/small initial letter:
             0  off.
             1  Single words only. Capital initial letter at start of
                sentence (s-o-s) is not checked.
             2  Initial letter of all words and at s-o-s is checked.
            +4  Words with 1-4 capital letters like ABCD are not checked.
            +8  Off for words following "Quotation mark (no s-o-s check).
            +n  means select 0, 1 or 2 and add 4 or 8 e.g.:  csch=6;


mexsw=    Multiple seek of combined-words / compound words:
             0  off
             1  combined-words
                If "abcd-efghijk" is not found, DITECT tries to find "abcd"
                and - if found - to find "efghijk". If both are found, the
                combined-word is treated as 'correct' !
             2  combined-words and "compoundwords". Same as  1   and
                if a "compoundword" is not found, DITECT tries to find
                "compound" and - if found - to find "word" when no. of
                letters of each word is >= minkl.
            +4  Mark double words like  "word word", when not seperated by
                other characters except 'space' and end-of-line.
            +8  Check two correct neighbouring words as the combination of
                them is possibly incorrect (affects program performance !).
            +n  means select 0, 1 or 2 and add 4 or 8 e.g.:  csch=6;


swisw=       0  Standard German (language 01 or 40).
             1  Swiss -  German (language 01 or 40): no ß-writing.
                Both versions are working with the same base dictionary.
                The differences are solved by program logic only.
