I have just compiled ispell-2.0.02 and added ispell.el to my 
GNU Emacs 18.57 and everything works fine.  However, I would 
like to be able to use ispell on both Sun3 and Sun4 (Sparc)
machines.  What I would like to know is can I use just one
ispell.hash file in the ispell/lib directory ?

The ispell.hash file that I get when compiling on a Sparc is
the same length as the one I get when compiling on a Sun3.  
The two files are different though.  They are the same for
the first ~280K which is just the list of words.  After that
they appear to differ quite regularly up to the end of file.

At the moment I have separate binary versions of ispell, both
accessing the same ispell/lib directory, which has the Sparc
version of the ispell.hash file in it.  As far as I can tell
both versions appear to work ok.

So why are the two ispell.hash files different ?
And will it make any difference to the functioning of ispell ?
