Hi. I am looking for a LaTeX speller (to avoid spelling MYSTEAKES). Thank you Avinoam Kalma avinoam@shum.huji.ac.il.bitnet avinoam@hujivms.bitnet

VMS has a better one, I forget the name, but I found it on the TeX distribution tapes DECUS puts out. I don't know of a good one for MSDOS, does anyone else? Something that will work with the tex or latex source and fix errors, not just produce a list of words it thinks are not spelled correctly. -- Peter Halvorson -- Nuclear Engineering Program Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 uucp: ...!{allegra,amd,hplabs,ut-ngp}!gatech!prism!ne201ph Internet: ne201ph@prism.gatech.edu -- peter@fission.gatech.edu

Microspell comes with a dictionary package. Basically you can either i) Merge a file conatining TeX/LateX commands with the main dictionary, hence skipping all correctly spelled (La)TeX commands ii) As you check you LaTeX files, save the (La)TeX commands as an auxiliary file and then merge this with the main dictionary or use a command line switch to include the user supplied dictionary at run-time. The nice thing about Microspell is that it "pops" up Microemacs when it has spell checked the document, then interactively asks you whether you want to change the word or skip. Disclaimer: Just a satisfied customer. PS. Microspell is available from SIMTEL20 in the directory PD1:<msdos.memacs> as SPELL*.ARC (*=EXE,SRC,DOC). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Racine Tel (416)-656-2916 racine@nexus.yorku.ca racine@yunexus.UUCP /* Yo Mama */ --------------------------------------------------------------------
