Unfortunately MySpell 2 or 3 had both munch and unmunch tools that worked for the dictionaries used at that time (including en, german, french, spanish, etc) but Hunspell needed compound prefixes, compound suffixes, and compound words to handle Hungarian and other languages. The standard munch and unmunch tools were never really modified for those changes and nothing was ever documented.

MySpell dictionaries still work in Hunspell and work for most western languages. I can probably dig up a copy of MySpell-3 source someplace and walk anyone through it.
