Description of lines
DITECT uses several predefined global variables (switches) that may be
adapted to the user's wishes by editing file "DTDFLT.CFG".
DT00 lines hold definitions valid for all languages.
DTnn lines hold definitions valid for language-no. 'nn'.
Other lines not starting with 'DT' are comments only.
DT00 and DTnn lines are limited to 80 characters but you may define
more than one DTnn line for the same language-no, e.g.:
DT40 csch= 6; mexsw= 6; excspac= 30000;
DT40 exfile= +specf1 specf2 specf3 specf4;
Later defined values overrule values defined before !
When languages are switched during spell checking session, user must be
aware that all values defined in a DT-line (except "exfile") are valid for
other languages as well until redefined again in another DT-line !
That is why "csch, mexsw and excspac" are defined in every DT-line again.
Description of special switches
to be adapted or verified by authorized personnell only:
dhpath= Pathname for all i/o files (e.g. \ditect\ )
exdspac= Space for base-dictionary-records.
excspac= Space for base-dictionary-catalog and exception-file-catalog(s).
For every exception file defined in "exfile= +" the value of
"excspac" must be increased by 2000.
charm= Space for text block (charm / 4 = max. no. of characters),
if defined too small, the remaining text is not checked !
These 4 definitions should be set/changed only after verification
by UB-Dieckmann !
usef= Use specific short-/medium-term file-no. 01-999.
If set to 0, each workstation gets another extension-no. xxx
for files "DTnnTMP.xxx" and "DTnnEXC.xxx" (nn = language-no.).
When user wants to always work with the same file-no, he uses
his 'own' extension-no. and defines it in DTnn line, e.g.
usef=123; (see "ftmp" also)
adaptable by user:
exfile= Definition of special exception dictionaries.
DITECT uses standard exception file "DTEXnn.TXT" and "DTEXnn.CAT"
automatically.
When user wants to switch it off or to add one or more other files,
he may define this by using the "exfile=" parameter as follows:
exfile= +specf1 specf2;
Use standard plus "specf1" and "specf2" for exception search.
exfile= =specf1 specf2;
Don't use standard exception file but "specf1" and "specf2"
for exception search only.
specf1 means file "specf1.txt" and "specf1.cat".
specf2 means file "specf2.txt" and "specf2.cat".
Lenght of file name(s) e.g. "specf1" must be >= 5 characters.
For every exception file defined in "exfile= " the value of
"excspac" in that DTnn line must be increased by 2000 !
minwl= Minimum length of words: shorter words are not checked.
minkl= Minimum length of word compounds (see: mexsw)
When DITECT does not recognize a word it tries to compose the
word by combining smaller words of minimum length "minkl".
As DITECT does not know the connecting points within the combined
word, it starts with the error-position to check if the rest of
the word is stored in dictionary a.s.o.
So sometimes a composition cannot be successful !
prbs= Proposal list: 0= off, 1= on
When "on" DITECT displays max. 20 words showing correct writings
for a misspelled word. This list of 'proposals' always starts
with the one with the best fitting-percentage.
The search for proposals is different in accuracy depending on
usuk= that may be defined as follows, where (x) in brackets is the no.
of the word's start letters to access the relevant file record:
0 (ab) the search ends with greater words in sorting sequence.
This means a small no. of records is searched.
2 (ab) the search only ends when start letters change.
This means a greater no. of records is searched.
4 (a) like =2 but checks all records with that start letter.
This means a huge no. of records is searched.
8 (abc) or more start letters depending on catalog.
It searches one directly accessed record only.
Proposal accurary / program performance:
----------------------------------------
2 default value.
0 a little bit faster but less accurate.
4 highest accuracy but slowest program performance !
8 worst accuracy but very fast.
+1 display refused words (with ending***).
First line of proposal list with ending*** shows that this
word is refused by user (stored in exception dictionary).
+1 means select 0, 2, 4 or 8 and add 1 e.g.: usuk=3;
ftmp= Exception storage:
0 off.
1 short-term. An unknown word stored by user is not marked
further on in text.
2 medium- and short-term. Same as before but the word is also
stored medium-term for later usage in exception dictionary.
+4 delete short-term-file on end-of-article/text/day.
+4 means select 0, 1 or 2 and add 4 e.g.: ftmp=6;
csch= Check capital-/small initial letter:
0 off.
1 Single words only. Capital initial letter at start of
sentence (s-o-s) is not checked.
2 Initial letter of all words and at s-o-s is checked.
+4 Words with 1-4 capital letters like ABCD are not checked.
+8 Off for words following "Quotation mark (no s-o-s check).
+n means select 0, 1 or 2 and add 4 or 8 e.g.: csch=6;
mexsw= Multiple seek of combined-words / compound words:
0 off
1 combined-words
If "abcd-efghijk" is not found, DITECT tries to find "abcd"
and - if found - to find "efghijk". If both are found, the
combined-word is treated as 'correct' !
2 combined-words and "compoundwords". Same as 1 and
if a "compoundword" is not found, DITECT tries to find
"compound" and - if found - to find "word" when no. of
letters of each word is >= minkl.
+4 Mark double words like "word word", when not seperated by
other characters except 'space' and end-of-line.
+8 Check two correct neighbouring words as the combination of
them is possibly incorrect (affects program performance !).
+n means select 0, 1 or 2 and add 4 or 8 e.g.: csch=6;
swisw= 0 Standard German (language 01 or 40).
1 Swiss - German (language 01 or 40): no ß-writing.
Both versions are working with the same base dictionary.
The differences are solved by program logic only.
