Re: duali 0.1b released

Salam,

You did a great job ! I tested duali with a CP1256 file downloaded from the 
net and it (he ?) seems to be happy about it: no error outputs, no spelling 
errors etc. So I guess the file was OK in spelling. Maybe I should hack it 
so it would contain intentional faults and see what Mr duali says...

I have 3 remarks though. They are all +/- related to user-friendliness... I 
am not sure you want to hear them ? OK, I can't resist the need to tell 
about them :-))

1- Why does the INSTALL file say 'download the data files and create them' 
while they are easily created from the data/ directory ?

2- If the user doesn't specify the good encoding, the program outputs some 
python error lines. Maybe this could be changed so it would outputs only 1-2 
understand-able line(s).

3- Oops... I totally forgot about it. I should have noted it. I'm sure I had 
a third remark. I will hopefully remember it :-)

Anyway, if you want my opinion, I encourage you to port it to C++. Let's see 
it in action in some text-editor (katoob ?) and maybe with a  
suggestion(s)-when-a-spell-error-occurs feature ;-) In the meanwhile, if 
pyduali suggests corrections in the command line, I think it would be 
'fully' use-able as is (in its python implementation).

Keep up the great work & Salam.

Youcef.
