I ported ispell 3.1.18 to DJGPP 1.12maint4.  If you only need the 
binaries and the docs, then I can mail it to you, but if you need the 
source distribution ready to build under DJGPP, then I can't give you 
one, because the Makefiles there rely heavily on Unix shell features and 
won't run unchanged even with ms_sh port of the shell (I had to build the
dictionaries on a Unix box).  I have plans to try to produce a version 
which will compile and build dictionaries under DOS, but that is far away 
(I haven't even compiled Ispell in v2.0 yet).
