Hello Augustin Martin
Thanks for taking the trouble to reply to my mail. I really appreciate
your help.
Yes, that link now works for me too. I don't know why it broke for me
earlier.
Thanks very much for the hint about aspell, which is not included in my
Fedora 10 distro. I have installed it and now spell-checking works again
in my VERY FAVOURITE editor.
You people who develop emacs do great work, and deserve our thanks.
All the best, john
