<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
<EM>Spell</EM> is the MINIX spelling checker. It is actually a short shell script.
First, the program <EM>prep</EM> strips off the <EM>roff</EM>, <EM>nroff</EM>, and <EM>troff</EM> control
lines, and the punctuation, and lists each word on a separate line.
These words are then sorted. The resulting output is then compared to
the dictionary. Words present in the file but not present in the
dictionary are listed. The dictionary must be located in
/<EM>usr</EM>/<EM>lib</EM>/<EM>dict</EM>/<EM>words</EM>.
