I'm using emacs to prepare fairly large TeX files on the NeXT and need
a speller that's up to checking them.  I picked up ispell-2.0.02.tar.Z
at nova, and ispell is just the ticket.  My problem is that I can't
get the version of detex that came with this file
(ispell-2.0.02.tar.Z) to work on my NeXT.  It compiled detex, but when
I try to use it, I get the message BUS ERROR.  I then tried other
version of detex, gotten from arthur.cs.purdue.edu, with exactly the
same results.  If anyone out there has gotten a working version of
detex on the NeXT (OS 2.0), I'd much appreciate any thoughts on (a)
the cause of this, (b) how to cajole the version of detex in
ispell-2.0.02.tar.Z into working, or (c) where to find a version of
detex that will work on the NeXT.


(Background info: although I was able to make detex, the following
warnings were generated in the process:

lex.yy.c: In function SeparateList:
lex.yy.c:617: warning: assignment of integer from pointer lacks a cast)
