To use the new ispell, you have to rebuild the hashed dictionary file, because I changed some fields in the hash entry structure. The symptom Don got was that ispell rewrote the entire main dictionary as his personal dictionary -- 184 blocks! Sorry about that. For those who got their personal dictionary clobbered, here's how to put it back (after ispell has been fixed): If you have cut(1): cut -d/ -f1 ispell.words | munchlist > ispell.words1 If you don't have cut(1): sed 's;/.*$;;' ispell.words | munchlist > ispell.words1 -- Geoff Kuenning {hplabs,ihnp4}!trwrb!desint!geoff
