You have an old version of ispell.  Check its version as follows:

        % ispell -v
        @(#) Ispell Version 2.0.01, May 1987 Beta posting

The ispell.el file I posted is designed to work with this version.   The  old
ispell didn't recognize the -A flag (which is NOT the same as the -a flag; -A
allows  you  to include files using &Include_File&).  Also, I think it didn't
have the -p flag (allows you to specify a personal dictionary).
