Just a quick warning to people: ispell has a bug that will clobber your personal dictionary. This bug shows up in both emacs and normal modes. In normal mode, any multiple file invocation will bring up the bug: ispell a.ms b.ms In emacs mode, the bug shows up if you use ispell-{region,buffer,word} more than once in an emacs session. Needless to say, this is a bloody pain for emacs users. I know what the problem is, but the simple fix doesn't work. In the meantime, you may want to keep a backup copy of .ispell_words around, in case ispell wipes it out. -- Geoff Kuenning geoff@ITcorp.com {uunet,trwrb}!desint!geoff
