A little while ago, I got the following mail. -------------------- Date: Mon, 11 Apr 88 08:20:04 EDT 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, Pace Willisson pace@mit-vax (617) 625-3452 ----------------------- Hope this helps.
