Does anyone know of code to use existing dictionary files (like MS Word or
MacWrite's dictionary) for spell checking?  A unix implementation would be
okay too.

I am working on getting Mac Writes 'SDEF' deciphered, but if the specs are
already available, I'd sure appreciate hearing about it.  (By the way,
MacWrite's SDEF is a code resource in the 'Main Dictionary'file that contains
MacWrite's spell checking software.)

Many thanks,

Brad Lowe
