disappearing dict.spl

[Judith Davidsen jdavidsen@xxxxxxxx]

I haven't been able to run spell check in XyDos from F7 for over a week,
and when I type spell on the command line, I get the response , but dict.spl is definitely in my XY4 directory.

This has happened twice since August, both times when I was working huge
projects, with files of over 30 pages, 12 or more hours a day, day after
day after day. The first time, spellcheck wandered back when the project
was over. This time it has not.
...
I've been using a Dell Inspiron 3200 laptop, Win98, XyDos 4.017 until
today when I upgraded to 4.018, which also can't find dict.spl.

Thanks for your help
