Go the command line of XyDOS. Type this:
 va/nv om

If a 31 shows on the prompt line you have microlytics. If a zero shows
you have the other one that is only useful when I need French.

If you don't have microlytics then: upgrade to 4.017 (a good idea anyway)
and microlytics will come with it. If for some reason you don't want to
do that (what version do you have--type ? on the command line to see) and
you have a sufficiently late enough version (I don't know which) you can
simply get someone to give you the dictionary file, put a "df om=31" in
your settings.dfl and you're done.
