Spell has another (In my opinion, serious) bug. It wount except proper
nouns. (Like "Cleveland, Ohio" for instance - or even "DeMarco".)
Now I know one argument behind this is that if some one makes a spelling
error at the first word of a sentance (Which should be capitalized) , then
spell wouldn't capture it.
Can some one explain this - mabie spell should put a flag out in front
of the Capitalized words that begin a sentence that wern't found in the
spell dictionary. Like this:
This was a seanc. Thiss is a sentance by Rob DeMarco
seanc
+ Thiss

I have been having a problem getting at jobs and cron jobs to run correctly. It also affects the invoking of the shell when used with the pi(pe) command of /usr/ucb/mail. It seems that the invoked program is not always getting the complete environment. It seems that the environment variables are sorted in alphabetic order but the first one is being lost on a random basis. The cure is force the first variable to be a don't care (AGARBAGE). Incidentally I use the Bourne shell on a Sun system. Anyone else encounter this situation? Any ideas? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Will Renkel - Motorola - Cellular 1501 W.
