ISpell has an TeX mode.  It is available on Fish disk 191 and other places.

If you'd rather spell check in real time (as you type) the text editor
Uedit is available with spell checker.  (It will also check spelling
all at once, i.e. 'batch' mode.)  While the stock spell checking
commands don't allow for TeX keywords, it can be easily modified to act
this way.  I have done this, and I could make my spell checking
commands available.
