There are greek dictionaries for aspell > and they work pretty good, so I wanted to use them in emacs. I work with aspell too (it is called from hspell). The `ispell' is the emacs package, not the external program.

It seems to me you work with the `ispell' program with the `aspell' dictionaries. ehud. -- Ehud Karni Tel: +972-3-7966-561 /"\ Mivtach - Simon Fax: +972-3-7966-667 \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign Insurance agencies (USA) voice mail and X Against HTML Mail http://www.mvs.co.il FAX: 1-815-5509341 / \ GnuPG: 98EA398D Better Safe Than Sorry
