Ispell is a great program in fact I like it a lot but... We have about 180,928,403,280,493 different versions of ispell floating around the network. Could someone test a good version of the program and post it has ispell 2.0? That way we would have one version to work from and we would not have all of those different copies. I suggest that maybe the original poster may want to take this up. Thanks. Jon Eckhardt (Empty space) jte@psuvax1.BITNET UUCP = <allegra,ihnp4,atcgva,burdvax,purdue>!psuvax1!jte

I missed the last round of ispell postings and would like to receive a copy with the latest set of patches. Thanks. -- Jeffery Small (203) 776-2000 UUCP: ihnp4!---\ C.

Here are my current plans for ispell: (1) I have recently completed changes to ispell to support capitalization information. These changes are in alpha test on my machine. I have also integrated nearly every fix that has been posted or sent to me; the remainder are on my to-do list, but there is nothing earthshaking remaining. When I am satisfied with the alpha test, and have time (probably a couple of weeks from now), I will post a beta update to my "ispell patch #1" (unfortunately there's no easy version tracking; I will also address this problem at least a bit). THIS UPDATE WILL NOT INCLUDE A DICTIONARY. (It will, however, come with a sneaky shell script that will convert you existing dictionary to upper/lower case, without violating the copyright on /usr/dict/words, plus some advice on how to make a dictionary if you don't have one. The complete dictionary will be reposted later this year in step (3), however.) This version will be posted the most efficient way possible (diff or reposting). Though I haven't actually wc'ed the diffs yet, I suspect that almost all files will be reposted. If most of the diffs are large (possible), I'll do a complete repost (sans dictionary!) on a what-the-heck basis. (2) When the beta has been posted, I expect to get another round of bug reports (especially because the capitalization was a lot trickier than you'd have thought, and I don't trust the code completely). I will again collect and integrate bug fixes. (3) When the beta bug flurry has subsided, I will send a final version (with a complete dictionary included) off to mod.sources for posting and archiving, and will then wash my hands of the thing. close to reposting all the files, I'll do > I suggest that maybe the > original poster may want to take this up. Thanks. Walt Buehring (the original poster) volunteered to collect and post dictionary diffs; I seem to have inherited the code (for the moment, see (3) above). Walt, if you're listening, do you have any dictionary diffs to post? -- Geoff Kuenning geoff@ITcorp.com {hplabs,ihnp4}!trwrb!desint!geoff

I have been trying to get ispell running on a 3b2/300 with 2 megs memory. Everything compiles, but when buildhash runs, I get this message: buildhash 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000 8000 9000 10000 11000 12000 13000 couldn't allocate space for collision *** Error code 1 I have tried running buildhash both in single user and multiuser mode, with the same effect. The same source compiles and runs fine on a VAX 8600 running SysVr2. (With 64 megs memory :-)) Is this a problem with any system with limited memory? Could I take the ispell.hash file off the 8600 and use it on the 3b2? Thanks for any info. that's the biz, sweetheart..... Randy Suess ..!ihnp4!chinet!randy

Can someone please post the latest version of ispell to comp.sources.unix or tell me where I can ftp it from? I think that it is a good program and is worthy of being in the archives. I seam to have lost the source and binary to ispell when we converted from BSD 4.2 to 4.3.

Could some nice person out in netland tell me where I can get a copy of the most recent version of the ispell program, and the GNUEmacs interface for it? Thanks. -- Jeff Lawhorn I know I had a pithy quote sitting jeffl@berick.uucp around here somewhere... ucsd!sdsu!berick!jeffl
