Thanks for the info.

My first goal (after creating the port) was to have it somewhat integrated in the official aspell. I saw the features set-prefix and ENABLE_WIN32_RELOCATABLE were working in the past, but were forgotten afterwards and stopped working.

Starting a project based on aspell is less appealing for me. If I can contribute to enhance the official package, without necessarily starting another spin-off, I think this will be better for everyone.

Hello.

I developed a native Windows port of aspell, to be able to easily
build it in MS Visual Studio.
The current MinGW solution has been quite handy, but I was asked to
create a 64-bit version aspell on Windows, and MinGW does not
currently provide any 64-bit capability.

Yes, I for one, would be very interested as I have had people express
similar requirements, but have no knowledge of programming on Windows,
and with MSVC++. You can, of course, submit a patch at the aspell
project page, http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=245

Can you put it up somewhere for download in the meantime? If you need
hosting space, we can arrange for some. Please contact me off-list in
this case.

FYI, the LyX project has been doing that for years. The MSVC compiled dll is distributed with LyX and the dictionaries are available here:
