[comp.text.tex] detex/speller etc for Mac

rsingh@elaine3.stanford.edu (Rajesh Kumar Singh) (01/22/91)

Hello netters,

Has anyone out there ported Kamal Al-Yahya's LaTeX/TeX
command stripping program detex and other related
utilities to a Mac?

I have access to the source in C and have installed
these on a  Sun 1/1+.  The routines are portable
with some modification.  I would like to hear from
others who have compiled it on a Mac.

I am using Textures package on MacIIci's MacIIcx's.

On a related note, I would like to know some pointers
for a public domain/shareware _smart_*  or  dumb spell
checker on a Mac.

*: By smart, I mean, it should have one or more of the
following capabilities:

1. Look for/suggest words
2. Can operate in an interactive mode, going from one mistake
   to another.
2. "Knows" about latex commands 

I _do_ have anonymosu ftp access.
