Hi Emacs, Here's a more robust way to handle the existence of the look program by ispell. GNU Guix users will be happy. There's another aspect worth discussing. The look program doesn't have the -r flag (as of today), but ispell handles this case (look at ispell-look-options). It seems that look was published around 1979. Perhaps it's time to deprecate this flag? Thank you. -- André A. Gomes "Free Thought, Free World"
