Hi Netters, I would appreciate info on existing spell checkers for .tex files. Yes, I could write a filter which eliminates all commands and leaves the pure text, but why re-invent the wheel? Addresses of sites from where I can ftp the programs are also appreciated. Traks (OOppssssss) Thanks in advance to all. -- Giuseppe -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- US-mail --- | --- e-mail --- Giuseppe CERBONE | Domain: cerbone@cs.orst.edu

TeX spell checkers exist - we have one, and I've seen the same one at UMass - but I don't know of any ftp site that has one. On top of that, the dictionary files are *hell* to transfer - VMS Backup even had some difficulties with them. ------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Arnold Gill | | | Queen's University at Kingston | If I hadn't wanted it heard, | | BITNET : gilla@qucdn | I wouldn't have said it. | | X-400 : Arnold.Gill@QueensU.CA | | | INTERNET : gilla@qucdn.queensu.ca | | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

In case no one has mentioned it yet, ispell is a great visual spell-checker. It can recognize most TeX/LaTeX command sequences, allows a private dictionary, etc. etc. Available by FTP from: Name: celray.cs.yale.edu Address: 128.36.0.25 Ispell sources in /u/public/ispell

But has anyone ported it over to MS/DOS on a PC yet? It doesn't look like it would be *that* difficult, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
