I am definitely not the one to give the best info on this, but I did notice
an interesting program for MSDOS machines (announced on
comp.binaries.ibm.pc.archives). I've included part of the doc file below. 
Others have said that ispell works well. There is also MicroSpell (?) which
received high marks from users. Hopefully someone else will followup.

A spell checker for ASCII and (La)TeX files
===========================================
amSpell is basically a spell checker for plain ASCII files, with some
special features for dealing with TeX files. The program is written in
Turbo Pascal and runs on any MS-DOS computer.

The basic idea behind this program is to make spell checking easier by

*  providing the context of the possibly misspelled word;
*  offering alternatives;
*  offering facilities for editing the word;
*  automatically replacing wrong words by the indicated words;
*  learning new words.
