According to the developer, he has "no time and very little interest in maintaining a Windows port," and is currently looking for somebody to maintain it.[1] The Lyx project maintains a fork of Aspell for Windows[2] - snip - i would rather invest some time to look whether personal dictionary could be converted into hunspell one (it should be very trivial - guessing its just text files and each line one word or something of that sort) than to maintain obsolete spellchecker with no bright future... pavel
