Hi Christoph,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have uninstalled the .5x (auto-installer - downloaded from the win32
ports site today) and put the .33 binaries into C:\Program
Files\Aspell. Is there any further install/configuration steps I need
to take, the documentation doesn't really seem to say much?

I have just run the command line text file checker ("aspell check
test.txt") and it works fine however PHP is now just permanently
giving the "Warning: PSPELL couldn't open the dictionary. reason: No
word lists can be found for the language "en". in
W:\Webmail\spelling.php on line 2" error." The English dictionary and
PSpell do come with the binary?

Will the old .3x work with the PHP 4.3.10 Pspell module?

Thanks again,
Best Regards,
Stewart.
