  <partintro>
   <simpara>
    The <function>aspell</function> functions allows you to check the
    spelling on a word and offer suggestions.
   </simpara>
   <note>
    <simpara>
     aspell works only with very old (up to .27.* or so) versions of
     aspell library. Neither this module, nor those versions of aspell
     library are supported any longer. If you want to use
     spell-checking capabilities in php, use <link
     linkend="ref.pspell">pspell</link> instead. It uses pspell
     library and works with newer versions of aspell.
     </simpara>
   </note>
   <simpara>
    You need the aspell library, available from: <ulink
    url="&url.aspell;">&url.aspell;</ulink>.
