So what is this ispell thing ?

I have a little shell script which I invoke from something like this
!}spck or !!spck or what ever you like, and it will flag all the
misspelt words with SPCK>.  Once you have corrected the words you
can run spck over it again and the SPCK> that are now correct disappear.
I also have an uspck script which simply removes all the remaining SPCK>s
since there are always so words that are not in the dictionary.

Richard.

PS.  I also have some vi macros cut the word under cursor and add them
     to a list which can be appended the list spell(1) uses, I can
     dig them up an post 'em if anyone is interested.
