Problem

Symptoms: When the customer uses the compress feature in SPELL.EXE, it significantly increases the size of the supplementary dictionary. If the customer compresses the supplementary dictionary a second time, the file size increases even more. The manual states that this feature is designed to take up less disk space. Solutions: The programmer for SPELL.EXE states that when compressing a supplemental dictionary, rather than deleting obsolete data packets from the header, Spell simply flags the data packets as deletable. So in the case of smaller files, supplementary dictionaries will often be larger after compression than before. To obtain the smallest possible supplemental dictionary, use Spell to compress, then retrieve the supplemental dictionary into WP (no words will be visible) and then resave it.
