[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Help with Ispell

aguada@athena.mit.edu (Carlos Acevedo) (02/21/89)

  I'm trying to install Ispell on my A2500's hardisk. My problem is that 
the file Ispell.hash (~500Kb) should be put in the sys:s directory but 
my workbench partition absolutely positively full. Is there any symple 
way of making Ispell look for it somewhere else. I have plenty of room 
in my work partition. 
  
Thanks,
Hector

You could try to NewZap it.  Probably search for the string 'sys' and maybe
change it to 'wrk', or somethimg.  I don't have Ispell, so I'm not sure
if this will work.  Some people just don't like their data being changed
on them.  ;-)

Been a while since I looked at this one.  Try this:

   Name the diskette that contains the ISPELL package "dict:" (without
   the quotes, and assigning dict: to the appropriate hd subdirectory
   or partition should work just as well).

   Add dict: to your path.

   Invoke with "ISPELL filename"
