This is the port of GNU ispell.40 to MSDOS.

ispel40x.zip    executable files and dictionary.
ispel40s.src    source files

RUN ispell.exe
--------------

In order to run the program ispell.exe you need only two files
--ispell.exe-- and --ispell.dic--.
In order to run the program look.exe you need only two files
--look.exe-- and --look.dic--.

By default ispell.exe looks for the dictionary in the same directory where
the program. It may be modified through command line. 

DOCUMENTATION
-------------

Get original documentation from GNU archive (see below).

ADDITION to the DOCUMENTATION.
------------------------------

Flag -t is now supported (TeX mode).
If you use -t then ispell will skip the words starting from
'\' (backslash) , all text after '%' (percent sign) up to the
end of line and the text between $...$ and $$...$$.


To compile the program.
--------------------------

To compile the program you should get the file

prep.ai.mit.edu  /pub/gnu/ispell-4.0.tar.gz  (original GNU distribution)

and then the file ispel40s.zip 
(it should be in the same archive you got this file). 

The files from ispell40s.zip should overwrite that from GNU. 

BorlandC )))

Run 
   make -fmakefile.bor

I used BorlandC 3.1 ++ but I think there should be no problems with 
any BorlandC compiler. 


GNU DJGPP )))

It may be compiled with DJGPP  1.09 (port of GNU C to MSDOS) 
It works at least.  DJGPP does not emulate well the BorlandC direct screen
output. Sometimes you should press extra CR. There is no inverse mode.
The escape to the shell also does not work with DJGPP. So I did 
not include a makefile for DJGPP. If you really want it you could contact me.
