[Note: Future versions of Aspell will just treat -vv as -v.]

Subject: Aspell and ispell.el under XEmacs 21.1.10
Hi Kevin,
I found the following lines in the README for aspell .31:
> Unfortunately the very latest version of ispell.el, version 3.3, will not
> work with aspell. Hopefully, version 3.4 will work with aspell but until

Well I found the same thing, however, this is relatively easy to
fix. In ispell.el the defun check-ispell-version is called. Inside
this defun the ispell program is invoked to check the ispell version
and this is done with this line:
(setq status (call-process ispell-program-name nil t nil "-vv"))
Note the "-vv", which aspell does not grok. Changing this to simply
"-v" fixes the problem.
I haven't encountered any additional problems otherwise (I didn't test
very intensively though). This email written in XEmacs was checked
with aspell.
The only other problem I found is, that ispell.el apparently uses the
american dictionary by default. So I had to invoke
ispell-change-dictionary to change the default to english before
aspell could be used.
