- You are welcome to look at the source to jspell - an ispell-like spelling
- checker I wrote in C that runs under MSDOS. It will run under UNIX, too, when
- I finish the curses interface. I use a simple statistical method of compressing
- the words and then store them in a chained hash table which is pregenerated
- and loaded in at run time. I had to do some less than obvious things to get
- the program + ~50,000 words to fit in 640K of memory.
