Such a tool exists and is available from a ftp site in France. It has been
written by Paul Zimmermann (zimmermann@inria.inria.fr) and is named "epelle"
(spell in French). It is available for ftp from inria.inria.fr [128.93.8.1]
in file "~/pub/ics.uci.edu/epelle.tar.Z".

Epelle is built on top of the Unix spell system, and allows for both TeX
and troff-style accent marks. The dictionary can be used by "look" too.

If there is an interest for it in the US, it would be really nice to have
a ftp site here.

Salut,
Christophe.
