I don't see the difference. AbiWord uses pspell, not aspell - although now
that GNU aspell is out the distinction is gone - and pspell uses whatever.

AbiWord's default 1.0.x builds use ispell; pspell is an option that some
people/distributions use. It's well known that debian uses the pspell
option. Certainly obvious looking at
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/editors/abiword-common.html
and a Google search for "abiword debian dictionary" makes it pretty clear
as well...
Still, I suppose you're right. What changes, and where, do you suggest?
Ciao, Frank
