Thanks q3q6b

Thanks for your work on this one, Ken. I updated your portablization code so that it works on every OS and won't collide with AbiWord's handling of Enchant dictionaries.

Thanks to you 2g3q4s

For releasing it.

Artha was my first dev test, and it is good to see it get out there.

Another very nice addition to PA.c!
Fantastic work everyone!

Unusable due to 100% U Usage 12317

This looks nice but it causes 100% U usage on my system
Pentium 4
XP Pro SP3

Hope this can be remedied in future releases.

Ask Publisher 13523k

We don't make any changes that would spike the U, so you'd need to ask the publisher about that.

Keep in mind that on first run it indexes the included dictionary, which will spike the U for a bit. On my main dev box, it's about 5 seconds. In one of my VMs, it was about 30.
