NAME
dictplus - automatic combination of diction and suggest
SYNOPSIS
dictplus [ -flags ][ -ver ][ -f pfile [ -n ] ][ file ...]
DESCRIPTION
Dictplus automatically combines diction and suggest. Options
are:
-f pfile Use the user's phrase file, pfile, in addition
to the default file of bad or wordy diction.
Dictadd(1) can be used to set up this file.
-n Locate the phrases in pfile instead of the
default phrase file. -n cannot be used with-
out -f pfile.
Dictplus is one of the programs run under the proofr(1) and
wwb(1) commands.
Dictadd(1) adds words and/or phrases that are to be located
or ignored by diction or dictplus to the user's dictionary,
$HOME/lib/ddict . Dictadd gives instructions on the neces-
sary format for phrases to be located or ignored by diction
or dictplus. $HOME/lib/ddict is only used by diction and
dictplus when it is specified by the -f flag. Proofr(1)
checks $HOME/lib/ddict automatically when it runs dictplus.
All programs can take the following two options that give
information on the programs:
-flags print the command synopsis line (see above)
showing command flags and options, then exit.
-ver print the Writer's Workbench version number of
the command, then exit.
EXAMPLES
