Spell is the MINIX 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
compared 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.
