Hi,
I have installed Lyx 1.4.2 on my pc running windows xp. During the
installation process aspell 0.6 was also installed because I didn't have
it.
How can I use aspell outside lyx? I cannot find the executable anywhere on
my pc but aspell works within lyx. I would like to be able to use aspell in
xemacs and also from the command line. How can I do this without installing
the stand-alone aspell? If I do install the latter will it conflict with
the
one that gets installed by lyx 1.4.2 setup program?
Any helps in these matters would be greatly appreciated.

This version of LyX1.3.7 works with new the newer aspell.exe
and the dictionary that matches with it. Older versions of
LyX1.3.7 use the older aspell_install.exe (0.53) and the
dictionary in your language that matches with the older version
of aspell. http://aspell.net/win32/
I think I haven't seen an official standalone release of Aspell .064
and I'm not quite sure what comes with http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Aspell6
Anyway, for other applications, I think you may need the earlier
Aspell 0.53 and its dictionary in your language. No conflict.
