I was wondering if there are any spell checkers that read TEX input and disregard the TEX commands. If not what spellcheckers do people use with TEX. I need one for a VMS machine or a PC. Thanks for any info. Cary E. Burnette (kerm@mcnc.org)

Most TeX users run under UNIX, so they use a filter that eliminates the TeX commands and then feed that output to either ispell or spell. ispell could probably be ported to either VMS or DOS if you were really determined. -- Terry Hull Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Kansas State University Work: terry@eecea.eece.ksu.edu, rutgers!ksuvax1!eecea!terry Play: terry@tah386.manhattan.ks.us, rutgers!ksuvax1!eecea!tah386!terry

I have the shell script that appears below (remember to get rid of the
.signature at the end!) which eliminates many different things.
