I found a Windows binar for that which is a few years old, and installed it. Now I get an error message about ispell not being found. I have not yet found a Windows binary distribution for that. I am using Emacs on Windows XP Pro, the 64 bit edition (the hardware is a new Acer notebook built around the AMD Turion 64). For some reason, I do not yet understand, I have not been able to get Cygwin to install on this machine, yet it installed fine on my desktop which uses a 32 bit version of Windows XP, if any of this matters in resolving my present problem. Can anyone tell me precisely what I need to install in order for spell checking to work, and where I can find Windows binary distributions that don't need Cygwin to be installed? Thanks Ted
