How to call spell checker from emacs?

How to call spell checker from emacs?

[hvaisane]

Is there documentation, other than the source code, how emacs calls
spell checker? Like, what data emacs sends to the spell checker and
what data it gets back.

I need the info to call home-made Finnish spell checker from emacs.

I suspect no.  Well, maybe C-h [f|v] ispell <TAB> <TAB> but
that's part of the sources...

Probably it's easier to convert your Finish dictionary to [i|a]spell.

How is Finnish different from other languages with declined nouns and
conjugated verbs?

Have you tried Aspell with its Finnish dictionary (only 1.4 MB,
uncompressed)?

http://aspell.sourceforge.net/
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/fi/

If you can suggest improvements, I'm sure the Aspell maintainers and
users would appreciate hearing them.

problem in ediff-directories

[Emacs Rocky]

hi, all;

     today, I use ediff-directories to diff 2 directories.  I am sure
there were several fiiles are not identical. but when I press '=h' to
hide the files which are identical, all the files are marked with 'H',
:(

    several days before, it works well. I don't know what happened to my emacs.

    any ideas?

ediff-directories does not work, when you use a path that starts with ~
When you use an absolute path it should work
