- There's a nicer package called "vspell" that should run O.K. on a SGI.
-
- You can get it from archive.cis.ohio-state.edu in the /pub/att7300/STORE
- directory as "VSPELL+IN.Z."
-
- Note that this is not the same as the vspell.tar-z file at some sites.
-
- This is a compressed cpio archive which contains some extra glue
- required for automatic installation on the AT&T "UNIX-PC."
-
- Unpack with zcat VSPELL+IN.Z | cpio -icdvu.
-
- It has a nice curses-based interface that displays errors in paragraph
- context and will try to suggest alternatives for correction. It manages
- a local dictionary as well, and can be integrated into EMACS and
- MicroEMACS if desired.
