Hi Gary,


Your static_filters.src.cpp doesn't look very good to me.


I knew you'd say that !! But I can't see why this file got stuck
in the gen/
subdir and why it stayed that way.


In the tar ball I downloaded (aspell-0.60.4.tar.gz 11/1/05) I had

I didn't see anything of the like when I installed it.


You ask what changes I made to Aspell. Good changes! Mostly my

Is it easy to integrate with Emacs ? Does it compile within
cygwin ?

Hi Maki,
By now you have read the message from Hr. Hintermüller. Pardon my
confusing *.amf files with the *filter.info files, which are the
source of you static_filters.src.cpp file. I checked, those files
are in the tar file as well.
So what happened? Did you reinstall? Did it work?

I'm not sure that there is an advantage of using my version of
Aspell when working with Emacs. I don't use Emacs myself. If it
pipes the text to be checked to the aspell.exe, the results
should be the same. If you have the time and the curiosity, I
included a cygwin.mak file to compile my version with g++.

Best regards,
Gary
