I put this file and explanation on the LyX Wiki so there would be no hurry to finish the Aspell project for .60.4 and also LyX has a spellchecking bug that won't be fixed until 1.4.1 so users could go on using spellchecking in LyX137 if they so choose. I won't advertise it on the User list in case this idea does not meet with approval. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://wiki.lyx.org/ipfm/index.php?dir=Windows/New%20Directory The directory is named Aspell6ziphelper and contains aspell.zip and AspellZipReadme.txt Aspell.zip is intended to provide the suport for both WinLyX137 and WinLyX140 to benefit from spellchecking. Install from the C:\ directory into a clean C:\Aspell; then install a dictionary provided by Angus/Joost at http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Aspell6 In my case I used, aspell6-en-6.0-0.exe, Aspell-en-0.50-2-3.exe, and Aspell-0-50-3-3-Setup.exe in that order. This allows both versions of LyX to use Aspell as the spellechecker. I used the defaults and didn't make use of any choices offered. This is a temporary measure until a better method is implemented. Nothing is written to the Registry so one can uninstall these zipfiles by deleting them. Use Add/Remove programs where appropriate. Regards, Stephen
