I would like to get some type of interactive spell checker program. similar to ispell(?) on the 3B1 (unixpc-7300). (I used to have a 7300, but no more) I think the name "interactive" pretty much describes what the software does. It more or less shows the document and spelling errors and prompts for corrective action and giving you possible spelling options. The target machine is going to be PS/2 running AIX1.2. I think AIX has most features of Unix SysV 3.? and BSD4.? (!!) So I can try a source that runs on either. Thanks X 1,000,000.00 ------------------------- S. Alavi (919) 467-7909

With NO intention of starting a "religious war" (i.e. MY editor is better
than YOUR editor, nyah, nyah! :-) may I suggest GNU Emacs?
Its realtime spelling checker is superb, and it (GNU Emacs) has been ported
to AIX.

Not to say that it is not something usefull to do, just dont have the time. I got vspell and it compiled on AIX. Thanks ------------------------- S. Alavi (919) 467-7909
