You can find a precompiled Windows binary of Ispell and many dictionaries here: http://www.luziusschneider.com/Speller/English/ > Another relted question: can myspell be used with Emacs smoothly? I > saw a project what made myspell and dictionaries especially good for > my language (Hungarian), so maybe I will need myspell. You probably mean Hunspell (a derfivative of myspell), not myspell. The above URL includes a Hungarian dictionary. If that is not good enough, I suggest to try aspell, as someone else suggested. > As far as I > know myspell is part of OpenOfficeXXX so hopefully it is not too hard > to get myspell precompiled binaries. What about an Emacs interface? I > couldn't found myspell.el. Will ispell.el work with it? No, I don't think ispell.el will work with myspell without some tinkering.
