Hello Roland,

I am pleased to release version 1.1 of bbdb spell. Below are details of
changes.

I use these mnemonic because I got burned when I was writing nterm with
variables being clobbered due to global scope. I also find it useful if
I decide to rename the variable that they have somewhat unique name.
However as your requested I have changed them to shorter name.

I thought inclusion of cl was frowned upon. I have made the changes and
the code is much nicer to read. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have changed it to (ispell-accept-output 1) it looks nicer but it's
probably doing the same thing.

Yeah I have it except it wasn't turned on for the bbdb sub directory ;)
