iSpell on W2K?

iSpell on W2K?

[Max Quordlepleen]

I have found the page with instructions on how to get iSpell running
on W2K, and was wondering wehere I can find just the cygwin.dll and
mount.exe I need? The Cygwin homepage seems only to offer a setup for
the entire Cygwin installation, while I need just these 2 files. A
Googling did not help much either? Are they available independently,
or do I need to install Cygwin just to get them?

Try installing aspell instead, there are up-to-date Windows binaries on
their site aspell.sourceforge.net and it works (at least on windows)
much better than ispell. To tell Emacs, that you use aspell rather than
ispell say

(setq ispell-program-name "aspell")

in .emacs.
