Version: @(#)README.cyg	1.2 06/08/98

This is a very rough port of ispell4.0 to the Cygwin system
for Windows NT.  This binary requires Cygwin, which is available
from
	http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32

The only purpose of this port is to allow spell checking from
within the Tycho editor under NT with the ispell -u option.

If you are looking for a complete ispell4.0 for windows, try
	http://www.itribe.net/virtunix/files/ispell-4.0-nt.zip
The reason that we are not using that version is because under
NT, the -u option causes a core dump.

There is some confusion about the ispell version numbers.
These sources come from ispell-4.0, which is sometimes called
gispell.  This version of ispell is obsolete and has been replaced
by ispell-3.1.20.  However ispell-3.1.20 does not have a -u
option, which provides backward compatibility with the Unix spell
command.

Installation
------------
To run ispell -u, copy ispell.exe and ispell.dict to a directory
in your path.

Origins
-------
These sources came from
ftp://bbs.ami.com.au/pub/os2/editor/ISPELL40.ZIP
See README.os2 for information about the OS2 port

I made minor modifications to get this code to compile under
Cygwin b19 under NT4.0.  To recompile:
	1. start up bash
	2. cd to the src directory
	3. type 'configure'
	4. type 'make'
