ok, i looked at Erwin's ispell.txt on his LETTERS site.
and as a start, i decided that i would circle-fy it.
after i figured out what certain variables were meant to do,
i proceeded.
and here it is.
the only thing you need to add (aside from the bottom half of this email)
if you want to use this ACMD() is :
1) ACMD(do_ispell); in the ACMD() list in interpreter.c
2) put "ispell" in the command_interpreter array as a new command is done
3) void ispell_init(void); (put this line at the top of comm.c)
4) in comm.c's game_loop() right before the while (!circle_shutdown)
put this ispell_init();
after that, change your Makefile (i use the makefile auto-dependencies thing
so it helps me out a lot to just be able to type make depend)
put ispell.o in the OBJFILES, and basically add the new file to the
Makefile listing
and don't forget ispell.c (right below)
ok, here it is.
the syntax for it is basically
ispell <word> (which checks to see if it is spelled correctly and gives
suggestions)
or
ispell +<word> (which adds it to your personal dictionary defined at the
top of ispell.c)
this should work, i worked out all the bugs and no problems now.
works fine.
thanks go out to Erwin S. Andreasen for the help he gave, and the original
idea
i'm not responsible for any damage done to anything on your system.
this is mailer code that works! :-P
here it is (ispell.c) WARNING: this only works on UNIX systems (i think)
