Re: [h-e-w] Installing ispell in Emacs

[Christopher G D Tipper]

Search the net for isp3206b.zip and download.

Install it somewhere like c:\ispell and add the following to autoexec.bat (or 
whatever you do in WinXP :)

rem -----------------------------------------------------------------------
rem ISPELL
rem -----------------------------------------------------------------------
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\ISPELL\BIN
SET ISPELL_DICTDIR=C:\ISPELL\LIB
SET ISPELL_HOME=C:\ISPELL
