[comp.archives] Any grammar checkers out there?

I am looking for the source to a grammar-checking program.  Something like
diction(1) would be great.  Too bad diction doesn't enjoy a wider user base
than it does--I know of very few vendors who supply it.  Thanks,

			[What is diction(1)? Since I'm writing a
			grammar checker, this is of some interest to
			me.

			Anyway, you are probably out of luck if you
			want a real grammar checker; there aren't a
			lot of them, and none of them, to my
			knowledge, are both non-specialized and freely
			distributable. There might be some style
			checkers, though. I'd be interested if you
			find out about any. tww]
