Ah, yes that now works.  That makes things easier.  Thanks.

I'm not clear.  They still work, though -- at least I'm using one and it's
locating the dictionary.  Still documented at section 5.7 AWLI files.

Or is there something else that I missed?

In the Text::Aspell perl module I added a $speller->list_dictionaries
method (since you have example/list-dicts.c).  I'm just returning an array
of dictionary names formatted as:

  [name]:[code]:[jargon]:[size]:[module]

for example:

  en:en::60:default
  en_CA:en_CA::60:default
  en_CA-w-accents:en_CA:w-accents:60:default
  en_GB:en_GB::60:default
  en_GB-w-accents:en_GB:w-accents:60:default
  en_US:en_US::60:default
  en_US-w-accents:en_US:w-accents:60:default

I could of returned an array of hash references, but people can always use
split().

I guess I don't understand the difference between entry->name and
entry->code.  They are the same for each of those.

Thanks,
