No problem.  So I tried the following command line:

aspell --data-dir=~/usr/local/share/aspell 
--dict-dir=~/usr/local/lib/aspell check README

and I get the error:

Unhandled Error: ~/usr/local/lib/aspell/en-only.rws: The file 
"~/usr/local/share/aspell/iso8859-1.dat" can not be opened for reading.

Well, that's because the iso*.dat files are not in 
~/usr/local/share/aspell, they are in ~/usr/share/aspell.  For some reason, 
it seems that aspell is looking at inconsistent directories for some 
reason.  Any ideas how to fix this?

Sorry about that.  :)  I am trying to get this running on a Sun workstation 
that is running sunos 5.8.  I typically don't send email from that machine.

I did look at those already, but I will check out the above link again.

Thanks.
