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.
