If you updated, you should have seen this problem unless you didn't have spell installed in the first place. The workaround is as follows (execute as root): cd /etc/newconfig cpset hlista /usr/lib/spell 444 cpset hlistb /usr/lib/spell 444 cpset hstop /usr/lib/spell 444 This has been fixed for the next release. I will also send this by mail. Bruce Rodean HP-UX Commands rodean@hpfcla.HP.COM This posting does not reflect the official position of Hewlett-Packard Co. No warrantees are expressed or implied.
