----------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- <snip> Sounds like good reasoning... until you think about the fact that this is a user list that likely has many members (at least the Win32 ones) that do not have the required tools to accomplish the compilation task... especially if your build is a MS VC++ one. That said I have for the past week been modifying like mad the source for my many special needs, so thanks for sharing your modified source! :-) Frank Hi Frank, I'm sorry, I should have including in my notes how to get a free (as in beer) c++ compiler. You may use Borland's BCB5.5 command line tools. You do have to adjust the config files and run make, but I'm sure most users will be able to handle it. Here is the link to the compiler. http://www.borland.com/downloads/download_cbuilder.html you want the 5.5 compiler. You will need to register as a new user. Read the readme.txt that comes with the tools. You need to adjust the config files to indicate where the include and lib directories are. Extract the source files in descdatadiary_0_3_0.zip. Edit the bc.mak file. You will need to modify the last section to indicate where the include directory for BCB5.5 is. Change the following line: -IC:\BC55\INCLUDE Change "C:\BC55\INCLUDE" to the actual include directory. Run the make program from the bcb bin directory with command line arguments "-f bc.mak". In my case the command is c:\bc55\bin\make -f bc.mak The result is diary2.exe. I hope that the next version of aspell is platform independent and we can start distributing binaries.
