I have installed ispell (isp3120b.zip 18-Jan-97 ) on a Compac 486/66
running dos 6.2 and Windows 3.1. Ispell does not work as expected,
nether when started from the dos-prompt or when it is started from
bash (bsh1147b.zip 30-Dec-96).  The spell-checking is done as expected
but ispell outputs an empty file. (Fortunately it creates the bak-file
.xx~)

Can someone tell me what I should to to make ispell produce a proper
output file.

BTW I have also installed ispell and bash to run in a dos-box under
Windows NT 3.51. Ispell works as expected in that environment.

Michael
