Problem with emacs and ispell on XP

Problem with emacs and ispell on XP

[Kylltrog]

  Hallo,

I have the following problemon these XP-versions:

- when I use ispell in emacs (both NOT cygwin-version), emacs crashes
really!

The version are:

GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.)

International Ispell Version 3.3.02 12 Jun 2005 (Copyright (c), 1983,
by Pace Willisson)

Is there a way to use these versions together. Ispell won't work in
emacs. And I don't know why? Other tools work with these emacs-version
perfectly. 

Must I use a special ispell-version?

Greetings, Kylltrog

Could you perhaps try with the CVS version of Emacs? This is the next 
version to be released and it is currently in pretest and very stable. 
See EmacsWiki for how to get precompiled binaries:

I think there is a bit more about ispell/aspell there too (but I do not 
remember now).

I'm using aspell successfully with the CVS version of emacs.

Emacs 22.0.50.1 on NT (not Cygwin)
Aspell 0.50.3 (Ispell Version 3.1.20)

I can send my configuration if you would like.

Where did you get this port of Ispell?

It does for me, but I probably use a different port of Ispell.

Thanks to all! This new emacs-version does it!

I'm sorry, but I couldn't reply immediately.

Best greetings, Kylltrog
