NAME
spell - print all words in a file not present in the dictionary
SYNOPSIS
spell file
EXAMPLES
spell document # Print the spelling errors on stdout
DESCRIPTION
Spell is the MINIX 3 spelling checker. It is actually a short shell
script. First, the program prep strips off the roff, nroff, and troff
control lines, and the punctuation, and lists each word on a separate
line. These words are then sorted. The resulting output is then com-
pared to the dictionary. Words present in the file but not present in
the dictionary are listed. The dictionary must be located in
/usr/lib/dict/words.
