I was building it and using it for years, before I switched to Hunspell. It isn't hard, certainly not harder than any other package with Posix configury. > And now i'd like to ask you why i don't see ispell in ezwinports...? :-) Because I switched to Hunspell before I started the site. I never saw anyone who'd request a ported ispell, but I still have the zip files and can upload one if there's a demand. > Hunspell works with myspell dictionaries, right? Yes. And as most Posix distributions switched to Aspell and Hunspell, it is much easier to find libraries for Hunspell than for Ispell. Some languages cannot even have an Ispell dictionary in principle, because they use linguistic features Ispell doesn't support. > > Can you propose a patch and test it in your setup?

Yes, but that one already exists (and probably always will be).
