Dear Netters: I do find there is a place from where I can ftp the TeX spell checker in the DECUS TeX collection, but I still have some questions: 1) Is it a spell checker for VAX ? 2) It is a great files collection which cost too much account space, how could I deal with this problem? 3) How could I use it ? Just type the SPELL after the VAX/VMS $ prompt? I trird this way but it didn't work. Anybody can answer my questions in the net ? Thanks a lot in advance for help. daiyingshi@yvax.byu.edu

It only takes about 5000 blocks here, I doubt you'll find another spell checker that takes less space if it includes its own dictionary. There are only a handful of files, so I assume that the large number of files you're talking about is composed of source code and/or installation stuff that you can delete after installation. > 3) How could I use it ?
