    I rather like ispell, which was recently posted to the net.  It takes 2
    to 5 seconds to start up, and the searches for suggested spellings of
    misspelled words can take several seconds on long words, but I find it
    much easier to use than Bell's current offering.

    Its hashed list is about 400k.  It came with a (short) ascii dictionary.
