We are running hp-ux 7.0 on HP-PA. The spell program does
not work since we moved to hp-ux 7.0.
Script started on Sat Oct 20 21:13:46 1990
~/research 1 %spell ai.tex
spell: cannot initialize hash table
spell: cannot initialize hash table
~/research 2 %
~/research 2 %exit
script done on Sat Oct 20 21:14:01 1990
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You will need to: cp /etc/newconfig/hlista /usr/lib/spell cp /etc/newconfig/hlistb /usr/lib/spell cp /etc/newconfig/hstop /usr/lib/spell As I recall, this problem only occurs if you have done an 'install', rather than an 'update' to get to 7.0 -- so, sometimes 7.0 spell will work, sometimes it won't.....

If you updated, you should have seen this problem unless you didn't have spell installed in the first place. The workaround is as follows (execute as root): cd /etc/newconfig cpset hlista /usr/lib/spell 444 cpset hlistb /usr/lib/spell 444 cpset hstop /usr/lib/spell 444 This has been fixed for the next release. I will also send this by mail. Bruce Rodean HP-UX Commands rodean@hpfcla.HP.COM This posting does not reflect the official position of Hewlett-Packard Co. No warrantees are expressed or implied.

At 7.0, you need to copy the following files from /etc/newconfig to /usr/lib/spell to make spell work. /etc/newconfig/hlista /etc/newconfig/hlistb /etc/newconfig/hstop This should take care of the error messages from spell. Lee Rodberg
