Microspell comes with a dictionary package. Basically you can either i) Merge a file conatining TeX/LateX commands with the main dictionary, hence skipping all correctly spelled (La)TeX commands ii) As you check you LaTeX files, save the (La)TeX commands as an auxiliary file and then merge this with the main dictionary or use a command line switch to include the user supplied dictionary at run-time. The nice thing about Microspell is that it "pops" up Microemacs when it has spell checked the document, then interactively asks you whether you want to change the word or skip. Disclaimer: Just a satisfied customer. PS. Microspell is available from SIMTEL20 in the directory PD1: as SPELL*.ARC (*=EXE,SRC,DOC). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Racine Tel (416)-656-2916 racine@nexus.yorku.ca racine@yunexus.UUCP /* Yo Mama */ --------------------------------------------------------------------
