Summary     : A spelling checker.
Description :
Aspell is a spelling checker designed to eventually replace Ispell.
Aspell's primary advantage (over Ispell) is a greater skill at
suggesting correct spellings. Aspell includes both compile-time and
run-time support for non-English languages and also works as a C++
library with C and Perl interfaces in development.

%CHANGELOG
* Mon Aug 21 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>

[pspell-.11.2-1]
- Changed my email from kevinatk@home.com to kevina@users.sourceforge.net
  please make a note of the new email address.
- Added the ``repl'', ``save-repl'', ``ignore-repl'' options.

  [pspell-.11.1-1]
- Compile fixes for better C++ compliance and less warning when
  compiled with -Wall.
- Fixed some bug in the configuration classes which caused aspell's
  dont-strip-accents not to work when specified on the command line.
- Added ``personal'' option to change the personal word list.

* Mon Aug 21 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>

[pspell-.11.0.2-2]
- Changed Vendor's email address.
- Now using _tmppath variable in rpm spec.

* Tue Jun 20 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>

[pspell-.11.0.2-1]
- Compile fixes so pspell will compile with the very latest gcc
  version (CVS Version)
- Included libltdl so it will compile with --enable-ltdl

* Mon Jun 12 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>

[pspell-.11.0.1-1]
- Fixed a bug in PspellConfigImpl::merge that caused the Aspell module
  to core dump.

  [pspell-.11-1]
- Added support for searching for the word list to use based on the
  language, and other information. This included support for other
  modules other than Aspell.
- Added support for linking modules in a compile time so that Pspell
  will also work with static libraries and on system where libltdl does
  not work.
- Temporary disabled using the libltdl library as it will only work
  well with C++ libraries on Linux. This means that all modules must be
  linked in at compile time using the ``./add-modules'' script. If you
  want to enable it use ``--enable-ltdl'' when running configure.
- Added support for non ``iso-8859-1'' encodings. The ``machine
  unsigned 16'' and ``machine unsigned 32'' encoding are still untested
  however.
- Switched to the HEAD branch of libtool as the multi-language branch
  was causing too many problems.
- Fixed it so that the manual will install in the correct location.
- Bug Fixes.

* Mon Apr 03 2000 Ryan Weaver <ryanw@infohwy.com>

[pspell-.10-1]
- Initial RPM Build.

I used aspell for a while and then switched to ispell - aspell used to hang on 
$$ (in exmh).

That aside, aspell is simply better;-)
