I can't get ispell to work with DJGPP Emacs 23.3 on pure DOS.  I have 
Emacs installed on two 8.3 file-name machines, 1) a DOS 6.22 one and 2) 
an OS/2 Warp 3 (blue spine) one.  Ispell doesn't work on either, using 
Emacs (in both cases it works OK from the command line, though).  When I 
try to use it I get the message "Failed to open temporary file:  no such 
file or directory (ENOENT), detmp.XXX".  I get the same message if I try 
to run a shell command.  I also have DJGPP Emacs installed on a Windows 
98SE box, with LFN=Y, and Ispell works fine there.

What am I doing wrong under pure DOS?

Thanks.
