         Some information about the dictionary.

This dictionary uses both upper- and lower-case affix flags, and 8 bits (latin1). So ispell must be compiled taking this into account, in your local.h file

	  include: #define MASKBITS 64   
and	  remove:  #define NO8BIT 
Nowadays most of the binary versions of ispell are compiled in this way.
AVAILABLE MODES

	-T lat	  (latin1, i.e. á, é, ñ ...)
	-T tex	  (tex, i.e. \'a, \'e, \~n ...)
	-T pre	  (nroff, i.e. 'a, 'e, 'i ...)	

The current version has 24.000 words in the galician.words, but combined with the rules in the galician.aff they give rise to 515.176 words recognized by ispell.
