Get ispell from your nearest comp.sources.unix archive site, or from uunet.uu.net or prep.ai.mit.edu via anonymous FTP (on the latter, it's in /u/emacs/ispell.tar.Z), or from osu-cis via anonymous UUCP. -=- Bob Sutterfield, Department of Computer and Information Science The Ohio State University; 2036 Neil Ave. Columbus OH USA 43210-1277 bob@cis.ohio-state.edu or ...!att!osu-cis!bob

A little while ago, I got the following mail. -------------------- Date: Mon, 11 Apr 88 08:20:04 EDT From: pace@EDDIE.MIT.EDU (Pace Willisson) To: watchmakers@ATHENA.MIT.EDU Subject: ispell Someone at the SIPB office suggested that I mail this question to this list: Five years ago, I wrote ispell for unix. I'm now in the process of updating it, and hooking it up to gnu emacs. I've looked around a a few machines at MIT, and I see that there seem to be several versions that have decended from the original. For example, I found a man page saying that ispell supports TEX syntax. I would like to collect any changes that I can. Please mail to me if you have any clues. Also, I am working on expanding the dictionary. If you have one that can be distributed under GNU's terms, I would also be interested in that. Thanks, Pace Willisson pace@mit-vax (617) 625-3452 ----------------------- Hope this helps.

That is ok. How about the interface with gnuemacs (ispell.el)? Where can we find it? Thanks, Thanasis

Get ispell from your nearest comp.sources.unix archive site, or from uunet.uu.net or prep.ai.mit.edu via anonymous FTP (on the latter, it's in /u/emacs/ispell.tar.Z), or from osu-cis via anonymous UUCP. Unless the version on prep.ai.mit.edu has been updated, it is the WRONG version to use with ispell.el. There are several versions of the ispell program running around. You want the version that takes the -A argument. Albert Boulanger aboulanger@g.bbn.com Albert Boulanger BBN Labs Inc. ABoulanger@bbn.com (arpa) Phone: (617)873-3891

[Sorry if this message is a duplicate; I had trouble with my previous attempt to post this.] In article <2900001@acf5.NYU.EDU>, mitsolid@acf5 (Thanasis Mitsolides) writes: > How about the interface with gnuemacs (ispell.el)? > Where can we find it? I have sent ispell.el to Thanasis. I can e-mail it to anyone else who is interested; just drop me a line (please include your return path). For those coming in late, ispell is an interactive spelling checking and correction program. It provides hooks for using a personal dictionary, removing word processing commands from the text, and so on. It can suggest corrections for misspellings, as well as do "word completion" given a prefix of the word. ispell.el is a GNU Emacs interface to the ispell program. To use ispell.el, you need "Ispell Version 2.0.01, May 1987 Beta posting" or later. Do a "ispell -v" to check the version number of your ispell program. -- Ashwin.

geoff@desint.UUCP (Geoff Kuenning) (05/14/88)
The current released version of ispell is 2.0.02. If "ispell -v" prints
this out, you're current. If "ispell -v" prints 2.0 or 2.0.01, you should
get and apply patches 1 and 2. Patch 2 is in the comp.sources.misc archives;
patch 1 is available by writing me. If ispell doesn't have a "-v" switch, or
if it prints an earlier version, you can get along without patches or updates
until my new posting (see below).
A working version of ispell is on uunet, in the gnu emacs archives. I don't
know the pathname or the version, but since it comes with emacs, one can
presume that it works with that editor.
For people who do not have access to archives, I will send the ispell 2.0
sources, plus the two patches, upon request. I will *not* send a dictionary
to anyone at present, but you can build one from /usr/dict/words. However,
when you request ispell from me, please realize that the money to send it
comes from my own personal pocket, so I would appreciate it if you wouldn't
do it frivolously.
As a general rule, after a posting like this I collect requests for a while
and the respond to all at once; this is cheaper for me. So be
prepared to wait a week or two before it actually arrives.
Finally, an update on the much-promised new version of ispell: it is looking
very healthy; it has passed a limited alpha test. I will post it just as
soon as I feel I can; I hope this will be early this summer, but if I get
busy it may take as long as next fall. This posting will be to
comp.sources.unix, so it will be archived, and it will include dictionaries
for English. Watch comp.sources.unix for it. I may post announcements
to other groups, but don't count on it.

I can e-mail it to anyone else who is > interested; just drop me a line (please include your return path). I got so many requests for ispell that I've made it available for anonymous FTP. (For those who have already sent me e-mail: if your request wasn't acknowledged, it means one of our messages bounced. Try the FTP route.) The ISPELL program, as well as the dictionary, are available for anonymous FTP from celray.cs.yale.edu (128.36.0.25). There are two SHAR files: -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp 333435 May 18 11:56 dict.shar -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp 272402 May 18 11:55 ispell.shar If you don't need the ispell program but only the GNU Emacs interface to it, you need only FTP the following file: -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp 22712 May 18 15:06 ispell.el Again, to use ispell.el, you need "Ispell Version 2.0.01, May 1987 Beta posting" or later. Do a "ispell -v" to check the version number of your ispell program. -- Ashwin. ARPA: Ram-Ashwin@cs.yale.edu UUCP: {decvax,ucbvax,harvard,cmcl2,...}!yale!Ram-Ashwin BITNET: Ram@yalecs

Many thanks to Ashwin Ram for supporting ispell.el. However, a warning to all ispell users: ispell 2.0.01 contains a fairly serious bug when used from emacs, which causes your personal dictionary to be clobbered. The bug is fixed in patch 2, which (unlike ispell itself and patch 1) is available from the comp.sources.misc archives. -- Geoff Kuenning geoff@ITcorp.com {uunet,trwrb}!desint!geoff
