I downloaded it. Set the path to ispell.exe as

c:/usr/local/lib/english.hash. Dictionary path is set as:
(setq ispell-dictionary "C:\\downloads\\ispell\\ispell-w32\\dic\\english.hash")

Do you see what I'm doing wrong here? I'm sure there's an info
node there somewhere ......


Please define an environment variable ISPELLDICTDIR with
a value c:/downloads/ispell/ispell-w32/dic :
ISPELLDICTDIR=c:/downloads/ispell/ispell-w32/dic
Thank you Akira:

That was what I needed. Now ispell works.
I must ask one more question while I am at it, since I mostly work on linux.

Am I correct in assuming that on linux, I will set the same environment
variable to the path to the ispell dictionary?

Regards
Tim
