That link seems to work for me. However, ispell.el versions in that page are way outdated. ispell.el versions shipped with FSF emacs 22 and above contain tons of improvements over them and should already be in your emacs22 package. Note that the above page refers to ispell.el, the emacs interface, not ispell (or aspell), the program. You need to install ispell or aspell separately. Not sure if they are provided by your distro (I think I read somewhere that Fedora only provides hunspell). Regards, -- Agustin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Yes, that link now works for me too. I don't know why it broke for me earlier. Thanks very much for the hint about aspell, which is not included in my Fedora 10 distro. I have installed it and now spell-checking works again in my VERY FAVOURITE editor. You people who develop emacs do great work, and deserve our thanks. All the best, john Dr. John D.
