As long as everyone is posting their changes to correct, I thought I'd
put in my 2 cents worth. Since we have four Englishmen in our
department, the first problem noticed was there was no way to use
British spelling. It was a simple thing to add the -b flag, which gets
passed on to spell (see below). I have not yet integrated this change
with Dave Olson's improved version.
Other criticisms I have (which I haven't fixed) are that it should be
usable in a pipe (i.e. as a filter), and the invocation of look only
checks /usr/dict/words; it should also search the user's local
dictionary (if given) and the american or british and local lists in
/usr/src/cmd/spell (or copies thereof if /usr/src is read-protected).
Other than that, I think it's a good idea; thank you Alan!
