See the ispell(1) manual. Thank you very much for your advice. First, this gives me hope that I will be able to make it work with the Russian dictionary. BTW, do you know if there is a German dictionary around? However, in a book about UNIX I read that there are very simple spell checkers that are not interactive, but just read text and make a list of words that were not found. I would prefer such. Do you know where I could take one? --- Victor A.
