Announcement: Spelling services

Hi

Once upon a time, John M. McIntosh built a spellchecker plugin for the
MacVM and there was a fileout that added a spelling service class to use
it from Squeak. We have added code to provide the same API (for now) to
windows and linux users that have ispell (or a compatible program, like
aspell) installed on their systems using system callouts.

A metacello configuration is available from the MetacelloRepository on
Squeaksource, ConfigurationOfSpellingServices.

The development repository is at
http://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/hirschfeld/squeaksource/SpellingServices.html,
the repo has global read+write, so if anybody finds this useful and has
changes, feel free to commit to that repository.

-Tim

Thanks for making this.

I just submitted some changes so this project works on 64 bit linux
(Ubuntu) and Pharo-1.3

I'm happy to take another look at it if you don't like some of my changes.

Hi all,

I created a small fix to get the ispell interface working again for Windows,
but unfortunately, I cannot upload it because the HPI SqueakSource is in
read-only mode now.

For now, I'm attaching my patch here as an MCZ, but maybe we should move
this repository either to squeaksource.com or to GitHub?

Fix ispell interface for Windows

Only open the file in read-only mode, otherwise the callout on Windows fails
to write back into the same file.
