ispell-* allows you to add new words to your own personal dictionary and is a better package than spell since it tries to provide substitutions for incorrect words for you. if you don't have the ispell routines in your gnuemacs, have your gnuemacs maintainer ftp ispell.tar.Z from spam.istc.sri.com. this is not yet, i'm afraid, the latest and greatest version of ispell although it works well. does anyone know where the latest version exists for anonymous ftp? --bw

The most recent version I know of (May 18) is on celray.cs.yale.edu and tut.cis.ohio-state.edu for anonymous FTP, and osu-cis for anonymous UUCP. There's ispell, a dictionary, and ispell.el too.

I don't know where the latest version is. I took a copy from osu-cis a week or so ago. I've become a convert! It has lots of wonderful features! However there are some bugs I've found in ispell.el. I have fixed all of the bugs I've come across (which include word completion). I've also changed the interface so that the commands you give to emacs while ispell is running are a subset of what you'd give to ispell when it is run standalone - this makes things much easier! Should I post/send them somewhere? -- R. Craig Peterson (N8INO) mcdchg!n8ino!craig craig@n8ino.UUCP E Pluribus Unum (NSA stuff - terrorist, DES, cipher, secret, NRO, CIA)
