Hello,
I believe I got my ispell from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/contrib/ispell.zip
This is what I did:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To set up on windows I did ...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I put the ispell win32 package in C:\Ispell and
made the changes to AUTOEXEC.BAT:
Added C:\Ispell\bin to my path statment:
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\cygwin\bin;C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\bin;.;C:\Ispell\bin
Set my home variable to C:\ :
SET HOME=C:\
I then copied all the files in the dictionary folder to my new HOME, C:\ .
(the ones that I wanted to use)
I moved my _emacs files to C:\.
Finally I edited my _emacs file to uncomment or take-out:
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Make the control characters show-up when editing files
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;;(setq inhibit-eol-conversion t)
For whatever reason, this was causing me problems.

Hello,
Just installed emacs-21.3 on Windows 98SE and see that I need ispell
for spell checking. I've scoured the web for simple instructions on
where to find and how to install ispell in emacs but can't find
anything that I can understand. I looked at the FAQ but the section on
ispell is dated and the links are dead.
Can anyone *please* provide me with---or point me to---step by step
instructions for obtaining ispell and installing it in emacs? I don't
come from a Unix environment so many of the instructions I've seen are
over my head.
I apologize for asking a question that certainly has been covered in
the past. However, I just joined the list and searching the archives
didn't help.
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
HFOverbeck mailto:address@hidden
