    DESCRIPTION

         Spell is the MINIX spelling checker. It is actually a short shell script.
         First,  the  program  prep  strips off the roff, nroff, and troff 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
         /usr/lib/dict/words.
