These generated files went through the following transformations:
- extraction of the headers into the dict-fr-header-* files above
- conversion from ISO-Latin-1 to UTF-8
- sort
- removal of duplicates
- removal of lemma and grammatical info from dict-fr-ABU-mots_communs
- removal of the zip codes from dict-fr-ABU-cites
- lossless conversion of accents for the *-ascii versions
- combination of the *-ascii and *-unicode versions into the *-combined ones (without duplicates)
spell(1) like tools, anagram(6)
These data files were originally intended to be used with the PNU project's anagram command, as well as many other text processing tools.
I wrote an history of Unix & French dictionaries (in French only), which covers this dictionary and many others.
The original contents, as well as this package, are licensed under the ABU 1.1 license.
Some source files had mandatory headers that were kept under data/dict-fr-ABU-Header-* rather than in the files themselves, in order to ease direct processing with other tools.
