20.PP
21\fISpell\fR is the
22\s-1MINIX 3\s-1
23spelling checker.
24It is actually a short shell script.
25First, the program \fIprep\fR strips off the \fIroff\fR,
26\fInroff\fR, and \fItroff\fR control lines,
27and the punctuation, and lists each word on a separate line. These words are
28then sorted. The resulting output is then compared to the dictionary. Words
29present in the file but not present in the dictionary are listed. The
30dictionary must be located in \fI/usr/lib/dict/words\fR.
