.SH DESCRIPTION

.PP

\fISpell\fR is the

\s-1MINIX 3\s-1

spelling checker.

It is actually a short shell script.

First, the program \fIprep\fR strips off the \fIroff\fR,

\fInroff\fR, and \fItroff\fR control lines,

and the punctuation, and lists each word on a separate line. These words are

then sorted. The resulting output is then compared to the dictionary. Words

present in the file but not present in the dictionary are listed. The

dictionary must be located in \fI/usr/lib/dict/words\fR.
