It was posted to mod.sources or something like that recently. It's in late beta test stage, and it comes with a gnuemacs interface. We just installed it here, and so far it seems pretty good. It gives you a completion list for each possibly misspelled word. If you wish, I can make it available for anonymous ftp. -Juan Collas, MIT Lincoln Laboratory
