Carl,

This is something "bigger" than Peter, it is in the "core" of the original vDOS.

I would test with the original "plain vanilla" vDOS to see what happens. It might be that
Peter broke it, but I very much doubt it.

On a different matter I am trying to have Peter include the latest vDOS mods into the main vDOSxy
repository in Github, so future enhancements done by CatastrophicAnomaly or Jos or anyone else
include that. That is the beauty of open source!

Joaquín

I tried loading the UK dictionary and indeed it does *not* work under my installation of vDosXy. I
don't know why. I can only guess that the implementation of EMS in vDos is nonstandard in some
respect or other. If so, it means that none of the non-U.S.
Microlytics spelling dictionaries is operable under vDosXy. That's a major loss, and one I hope that
Peter a/k/a CatastrophicAnomaly, the author of the vDosXy fork, can be persuaded to address.

Thanks, Paul, for bringing this to light.
