Patch #8 to the beta-test version of International Ispell 3.0 is now available for ftp from ftp.cs.ucla.edu (131.179.128.34), in the pub/ispell directory. Most of the changes are to C files, but there is also a fix for the infamous "Bogus, dude" problem in emacs. There are also a few British dictionary corrections. ***WARNING*** If you are picking up ispell 3.0 for the first time in response to this message, be sure to carefully read the entire README.beta file before attempting to unpack the kit and apply patches. Failure to follow the instructions will cause patch 8 to fail. To forestall requests, I will *not* mail copies of ispell or the patches to anyone (except beta sites, who should have already received a copy of the patch). This is because mail costs me real money out of my own pocket. If you don't have ftp access, you'll just have to wait until ispell is posted to a sources group. Sorry. WHAT IS ISPELL? Ispell is an interactive spelling checker which boasts a screen-oriented interface. It also interacts nicely with GNU emacs. The 3.0 version contains international-language support for most European languages, and various persons are working on supporting their native languages. The beta version is fairly stable at this point, although there are still some minor annoyances in the emacs interface. -- Geoff Kuenning geoff@ITcorp.com uunet!desint!geoff
