Tkispell Tkispell is a Perl/Tk user interface to the GNU ispell program. INSTALLATION First make sure that GNU ispell is installed and works correctly on your system. Ispell is at: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/ispell/, or in package format for many Unixes. Make sure that it is working correctly by spell checking a file using the command line interface. Then, follow the normal installation for Perl modules. $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ su # make install There are a few options at the start of the tkispell script that you can edit, namely, the X11 font (which must be a X Logical Font Descriptor. Refer to the xlsfonts(1) man page for an explanation), and the name of your personal dictionary. A description of the program's functions is contained in the program's manual page: tkispell(1). TROUBLESHOOTING If tkispell prints an error message like: tkispell: file not found edit the first line of 'tkispell with the path name of the system's perl binary, normally /usr/bin/perl or /usr/local/bin/perl. If perl isn't in either place, try using the output of "which perl." Tkispell is licensed under the same terms as Perl. Please refer to the file "Artistic." $Id: README,v 1.3 2004/02/28 21:35:08 kiesling Exp $
