A new verion of SPELL, the utility designed to locate spelling errors
in documents, is complete.  Aside from a number of bug fixes, it allows
more flexible use of user dictionaries (specified on the command line
now).

Thanks to those who suggested modifications!

If you already have SPELL, you won't need to retrieve many files, as the
dictionary has not changed.  New files are:

MIT-MC:AR59:CPM;
		SPELL	20COM	<-- executable version of SPELL
		SPELL	20DOC	<-- new documentation
		SPELL	20HEX	<-- hex version of SPELL 20COM, generated
				    by the CPM;HEXIFY program at MC.
		SPELL	20MAC	<-- SPELL source code.

All of the other files remain unchanged.

Comments, complaints, bug reports gladly accepted.

P.S.  For those of you who are curious, the dictionary stores about 40,000
words in 56K of memory.
