"A series of questions to create the affix entries" Not the whole enchilada, but a practical subset.

Back when pragmatics trumped perfection, PROFS/DISSOS (or something similar) had a dictionary creator along these lines. Algol springs to mind so it might have on MCP - salad days.

Maybe as workarround you can use hunspell command line tool. I did some mini test with cygwin (windows) a few days ago.

hunspell -d de_DE_OLDSPELL /cygdrive/c/books/ApostropheTest.txt

(see -H The input file is in SGML/HTML format. )

hunspell(1) - Linux man page
