     I have a simple spelling checking program that uses this and will
  try to email it to you.  Since your .sig file doesn't seem to contain
  a path from a backbone site, I don't know if I'll be able to send it.
  Consider the program on the way though, and let me know it you don't
  receive it.
     What appears to be a much better program is availiable from sites
  that archive comp.sources.unix, check out 'sp' volume 8.  I was not
  able to get it to compile but maybe you'll have better luck.
