Right, I can start it now, but it doesn't want to work through pine. :-( I'm
using the attached script (from Red Hat 8.0) it if helps. It exits with 255 when
called as `aspell --mode=email check' or `aspell check', or when speller is set
to `pine-spellcheck' it exists with -1 after pissing around trying to get back
my terminal. It doesn't respond in pine at all to user input.

CYGWIN = `binmode check_case:strict ntea ntsec tty'
