Fair enough.

The dust has seemed to settle with respect to ASPELL - the author has done
quite a bit of re-architecting and whatnot, and provided PSPELL interfaces
so that slow-moving beasts like PHP can remain "compatible" with it.

I suspect the "real PSPELL" library is a rather dead animal, which of course
adds to the confusion since the "aspell" interface in PHP refers to a
completely obsoleted and unused variant of the library.

*SIGH*  They should just rename it.  If I have time, I might try to rework
the IMP spell-checker to use the PHP intrinsic calls.

Anyhow, thanks Chuck for the Horde project, IMP, and the quick replies.
