The project here will be the merge of Aspell and Pspell.  The project will be 
named the New Aspell until it becomes stable and it will then become simply 
Aspell and the old Aspell and Pspell hosted on sourceforge  will sease to 
exist. An announcment about the merge can be found at 
http://pspell.sourceforge.net/merge.html.  However note that I plan on going 
with Aspell as the name rather than Pspell, but this is not set it turn so I 
would like to have the possiblilty of renaming the project.

Aspell is an Open Source spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell. 
Its main feature is that it does a much better job of coming up with possible 
suggestions than Ispell does. In fact recent tests shows that it even does 
better than Microsoft Word 97\'s spell checker or just about any other spell 
checker I have seen. It also has support for checking (La)TeX and Html files, 
and run time support for other non English languages.

Pspell is a portable spell checker interface library. After the merge Aspell 
will have the same core as it does now but will also have a C interface very 
similar to the interface Pspell has now.  Aspell will also be fully moduler.
