To whom it might be interested in.
This is a summary of the answers I received to my quest for a spell
checker. I assume no responsability on availabity or correctness
of the software.
This message is a service to the group and an acknowledgment of its
usefulness.
At the same time it is also intended as a "thank you note" to all
people that have taken their time to answer my quest.
Software ftp-address Notes
------------------------------------------------
detex j.cc.purdue.edu Takes a .tex file and
uunet.uu.net eliminates all tex commands
haunama.staford.edu
ispell tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:pub/gnu/ispell/*
A general purpose spell
checker that "knows" about LATEX.
Works in combination with Emacs.
A file ispell.el is also available.
Routine at the end of this message
It make some mistakes because
it does not recognize all Latex commands and parameters but it is a
clever "quick and dirty" solution to the problem. I have run it and
the mistakes it makes do not seem to create a problem. You just ignore them.

Probably not. There is a PD VMS spell checker that does a reasonable job of ignoring TeX commands (it sometimes ignores text as well) available from ymir.claremont.edu in [anonymous.public.spell].

I don't know if it is the same as the above or not, but it does ignore TeX, runoff and scribe commands, based on file extension.
