JMarc kindly has send me again the mail concerning the ispell problem with lyx on win32! And he has send me, too a patch so that lyx will call the spellchecker that is configured in lyxrc! I have patched my current sources, i.e. Lyx 1.1.4fix3 and Sheldon (and whoever else ;-) can fetch the new Lyx release under http://www.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/lyx114fix3exe.zip This file does only include the executable! So you have to install Lyx114fix2 from my page http://www.fh-hannover.de/mbau/tim/hentschel/lyx/index.htm and just replace the executable in /apps/lyx114/bin! Hope this works! Regards Claus
