A little while ago, I got the following mail.

From: pace@EDDIE.MIT.EDU (Pace Willisson)
To: watchmakers@ATHENA.MIT.EDU
Subject: ispell

Someone at the SIPB office suggested that I mail this question to this list:

Five years ago, I wrote ispell for unix.  I'm now in the process of
updating it, and hooking it up to gnu emacs.  I've looked around a 
a few machines at MIT, and I see that there seem to be several
versions that have decended from the original.  For example,
I found a man page saying that ispell supports TEX syntax.

I would like to collect any changes that I can.  Please mail to me
if you have any clues.

Also, I am working on expanding the dictionary.  If you have one that
can be distributed under GNU's terms, I would also be interested in that.

Thanks,
