Don Kark just called my attention to a minor oversight in my instructions
for my reposting of ispell.  To use the new ispell, you have to rebuild
the hashed dictionary file, because I changed some fields in the hash
entry structure.  The symptom Don got was that ispell rewrote the entire
main dictionary as his personal dictionary -- 184 blocks!

Sorry about that.  For those who got their personal dictionary clobbered,
here's how to put it back (after ispell has been fixed):

    If you have cut(1):

	cut -d/ -f1 ispell.words | munchlist > ispell.words1

    If you don't have cut(1):

	sed 's;/.*$;;' ispell.words | munchlist > ispell.words1
--
