Re: Spell checking on windows

[Graham Smith]

Just to say thanks to everyone for their help. 

Installed the precompliled windows binary for aspell, plus the english dictionary

added (setq-default ispell-program-name "aspell") to .emacs and added the path to the aspell bin directory as an environmental variable.

Its all working now ;-)

Can someone confirm for me that I need to install Cygwin to get spell checking on Emacs running in Windows.

Assuming I do, from reading the install help, it seems that you can choose which packages to download, should I just download everything, on the assumption I may eventually need Cygwin for other things.

Thanks,

Graham
