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.
