I'm using ispell, and the pws stuff seems to be working, except ispell calls it something else. It appears that it updates the main file as the date is today, about the correct GMT time when I added your name: gene@coyote:~$ ls -al|grep .ispell -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 920 Oct 10 07:37 .ispell_american -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 278 Oct 24 20:31 .ispell_american-huge <this one -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 616 Oct 13 21:58 .ispell_default
But all 3 are quite small, so it must source another master file. I'd have to assume so as theres a whole passel of ispell stuff in /var/lib.
I was using ispell. But Nick told me how to make Aspell work, so I changed to Aspell.
I have now got what I want. When I make a mistake and add something to my personal word list that I shouldn't have, I can easily edit it out.
I have now looked. For ispell I have: lisi@Tux-II:~$ ls -al | grep .ispell -rw-r--r-- 1 lisi lisi 2366 Oct 23 19:06 .ispell_british -rw-r--r-- 1 lisi lisi 5654 Oct 15 21:41 .ispell_default lisi@Tux-II:~$ Both lists are long and appear to have words I have added, which is corroborated by the dates.
