Compiling DVISPELL/DVISPREP on Linux
-----------------------------------
 1. "gunzip" the distribution
 2. tar -xf dvispell.tar
 3. cd dvispell  #  (root directory of distribution)
 4. ./configure
 5.  If "configure" does not find "kpse*" items, then 
     install the kpathsea library and restart ./configure
 6. make

   "make install" does not seem to work, then you have just to put the
dvispell executable in the common path, such as /usr/local/bin
   
Compiling DVISPELL/DVISPREP on MSDOS/DJGPP
-----------------------------------------
 1. "gunzip" the distribution
 2. tar -xf dvispell.tar
 3. cd dvispell  #  (root directory of distribution)
 4. EDIT Makefile.in
    48c48
    < 	$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) ext.o dvisprep.o $(LIBS) -o $@
    ---
    > 	$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) ext.o dvisprep.o -o $@
    Enter "bash" if not already done.
 5. ./configure
 6. If "configure" does not find "kpse*" install the kpathsea library
which can be found in
  ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/tex/kpse32b.zip (binary)
  ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/tex/kpse32s.zip (source)

  Then perform ./configure again.
 7. If "configure" does not find "getopt.h" use unzip or pkunzip to extract
getopt.h from kpse42s.zip (the source of kpatsea library)
 8. make


Comments
--------
 DVISPELL is able to find required TFM files, either in emTeX
distribution provided that the EMTEXDIR environment file is defined, or
using the "kpathsea" algorithms as in teTeX/Linux distributions.

 Two output conversion codes are available: pc850.dsb (source *.dsi) or
latin1.dsb (source *.dsi). Depending on the system (UNIX or MSDOS),
either latin1.dsb or pc850.dsb should be copied as plain.dsb, the
default database for DVISPELL.
