Re: Error opening dictionary with php pspell function pspell_new

Hey Glyn, Within the english dictionaries distributed by the win32 port of aspell, there are two files in the data directory that are screwed. They are ISO8859-1.dat and standard.krb. They have dos carriage returns in them. Running a unix dos2unix command on them, and replacing them will fix the problem. If you don't have access to a unix box, this website does the trick: http://www.iconv.com/dos2unix.htm Best, Drew Glyn Burton wrote: > I'm trying to get up and running using the pspell functions on Windows. > It seems everything is installed OK.
