Hi.

While visiting the FTP site at chyde.uwasa.fi, I found a good spell
checker.  But I already have a good spell checker.

What *would* be useful is a Turbo Pascal (source could be quickly
adapted to other flavors) spell checker.  Not something to cross
reference variable names (these exist) or check the syntax (TP does
this nicely :) but rather check the spelling of all words inside
comments and quotes (without choking on double qoutes (ie, it''s).

Does anyone have such a beast?  Timo, you may consider this a
suggestion if you've got some time handy.
