Munch will take a word list and output an affix compressed version of the list to stdout. Is syntax is munch The input word list for munch MUST start with a number indicating the number of words in the list. A good way to find it is 'wc -l'. To use the list to create an Aspell dictionary you need to remove the first line in the output which is the number of words in the output list. I hope to eventually integrate this program with the rest of Aspell.
