If so, where can I find it? The obvious choice (okay, I'm biased) is ispell, which is available from the osu-cis archives and (I think) from uunet. Ispell recognizes the ".tex" suffix and has some primitive detex support built in. It also comes with a nice (I'm told) emacs interface. Make sure you get the two patches; when you're done with installation, you should have version 2.0.02, May 1987 Beta posting. Geoff Kuenning geoff@la.locus.com geoff@ITcorp.com
