Gaspell version .28.5
September 26, 1999

Gnome frontend to the Aspell library.  Or put another way a simple
spell checker that does a way better job than ispell does with coming
up with suggestions.

In order to use it both Gnome 1.* (http://www.gnome.org) and Aspell
.28 (http://www.metalab.unc.edu/kevina/aspell) need to be installed in
your system.  Gcc 2.8+ or egcs as the C++ compiler is also required as 
gcc 2.7.3 will no longer cut it.

To build it simply type 
  make
and then 
  ./gaspell
to run it. 

If that does not work edit the Makefile and try again.

To install simply copy the gaspell executable into /usr/local/bin/ or
some other place in your path.

Besides the regular gtk+ and gnome flags gaspell supports the following
options:
  -d, --master=<base>         main word list base name
  -p, --personal=<file>       personal word list file name
  --repl=<file>               replacements list file name
  --lang=<lang>               default language to use
  --dict-dir=<dir>            location of the main word list
  --data-dir=<dir>            location of language data files
  --ignore-repl               ignore commands to store replacement pairs
  --dont-ignore-repl
  --conf=<file>               main configuration file
  --conf-dir=<dir>            location of main configuration file
  --dict-host=<host>
  --dict-port=<port>
  --infile=<file>             the file to check

To skip over a region (say a block of code) click on stop.  Move the
cursor to where you want to start again.  Then click on start.

Lookup will lookup the definition of what ever word in in the
correction box.  Auto will automatically lookup a word when ever you
click on it in the suggestion list.

Try it out and let me know what you think.

PS: I will switch to automake/autoconf once I figure out how to get it
to work with gnome properly.  Any help would be more than appreciated.
