where to get ispell for a windows machine?

where to get ispell for a windows machine?

[Ed]

Howdy,

I'm running emacs 21.2 on windows NT. Where can I get an ispell
program that will work?

The URL in the emacsNT faq is not working.

THanks!

Ed

Ed,

You might try looking at
ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Humblet_Pierre_A/V1.1/
for the files:
ispell-3.2.06-cygwin-1.3-bin.README
ispell-3.2.06-cygwin-1.3-bin.tar.gz

I have not tried these files, so I cannot say how easy it is to install or how well the work.  I did browse through the readme file.
If you do not have cygwin and don't want to get it I believe there is information in the readme on how to install ispell without it.

Check out
http://www.atnetsend.net/computing/ispell/ispell_port.html
especially the information on v3.1 versus v4.

I've been using ispell 3.1.20 for a long time with Emacs 20.6.1
and Win NT 4.

Hope this helps.
