Re: [h-e-w] Current ispell port?

[Peter Milliken]

If you have the cygwin (development) environment installed then you can 
download ispell from any GNU mirror site and compile it. You need to 
"customise" the local.h file and I have a Makefile in my archives that I 
have to use also - I can't remember why, I think there is a bug in the one 
supplied :-)

I have attached the two files. Note that you will have to edit and 
"customise" local.h for your own directory paths. Also, I use the British 
dictionary, so that too may require some changes :-)

I keep these two files in a separate location because I end up re-imaging my 
Windoze disk every so often and having to re-install ispell - I recommend 
something similar once you have customised them for your environment :-).

Regards,
Peter
