Gaspell version .28
July 25, 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
  --infile=<file>             the file to check


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.
