Details

The NS6 spellchecker works in Mozilla 0.8 (e.g. build 2001031008) by copying the
spellchecker folder from NS6's components folder to Mozilla's components folder.

However in Mozilla 0.8.1 Mozilla crashes trying to load the component.
If I skip the offending instruction in VC++ the actual spellchecking works.

I don't know what useful information I can give because I'm using a ZIP download.

Just downloaded DEPENDS.EXE - the missing (decorated) export is
?InsertStringAt@nsStringArray@@QAEHABV?$basic_nsAReadableString@G@@H@Z
although DEPENDS.EXE refuses to undecorate it.
This is probably WONTFIX. Netscape isn't going to release their 
proprietary spellchecker just to be compatible with some random Mozilla build 
(as opposed to a Netscape release), and Scott isn't going to change the string 
API's back to what they were in M18.
Yeah. Wait for NS 6.5 :-)

$%&* I can't use the NS6.1 spellchecker any more. I'm very sad.
