There has been some talk of why even bother trying to get Aspell working, I've been told Hunspell/MySpell works fine.  Well not so much for someone who actually uses it to correct spelling. 1 thing is certain, all spell checkers are good at finding mistakes, fixing them is a whole other story.

[b]un corrected[/b]
i did not diliberaly misspell anything here
no ive not had a problem with hunspell connecting to the web, it dose not do this.

my problem is it simply dosent work as a spell checker 1/2 as well as Aspell.

myspell/hunspell dont have a prayer with correcting my spelling  aspell's 1st and 2nd guess is right 90% of the time.

[b]corrected by hunspell/myspell red words did not have any correct guesses. yellow words marked wrong when right.[/b]

(7)[b]Aspell's[/b], Ispell's, ispell's

I did not count words wrong just for missing title case.
Aspell learns from your mistakes and corrections, so deliberately was the first suggestion from Aspell when the same section was spell checked a 2nd time.

I have tried to trick Hunspell/MySpell in to learning from corrections and I have not been able to do it. so atm its my belief that they are not capable of learning from corrections.

this is why I've been willing to do so much to have Aspell available for my use.

At this time I've gotten the old Aspell plug in working fine but I had to use a workaround that opens a notepad window after spell checking is done, for you to manually copy and paste back in to the box.  Any and all attempts to read the .txt file and paste it with the macros in to the box result in a crash within 2 min of the action! This would be the bug that breaks the plug in, not necessarily a bug only in K-Meleon but most likely in the utils.dll as well.

for Hunspell/MySpell i used open office witch i believe uses MySpell witch is a direct descendant from Hunspell.[/quote]
