[comp.emacs] ispell woes

randy@june.cs.washington.edu (William Randy Day) (05/16/88)

I've been trying to use ispell (and ispell.el), but with limited
luck. Has anyone been able to run this program on a SUN? I've
got a copy that works on a VAX, but hangs on a SUN. (It fails by
gobbeling cpu time, but not printing a thing. Compiling -g and running
through dbx produces the message "stack overwritten", and nothing works.)

The only copy of ispell I could find (on uunet.uu.net)
is distinguished by 1983 copyright by Pace Willisson.

Any takers?

Randy Day.
