Re: Hyphenation & Dictionaries

[Jay Smith <jay@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Considering that there are problems and inadequacies in the hyphenation,
dictionaries, etc., what are the alternatives?  Is it possible to use
alternate hyphenation files?  How/where would one obtain them, maintain them,
create them, etc.?
