spell command from 4.4BSD, now freed by Caldera. I have made some significant changes: o spell no longer uses hashed files. The algorithm for generating the hashed files breaks down for large files. Instead, I use the same approach as look(1) and do binary searches of mmap(2)ed files which has acceptable performance. A side effect of this is that spell can now search multiple word lists. o The spell binary has been renamed to "spellprog" so as to not conflict with the spell shell script. This is consistent with other operating systems. o The putsuf() and putword() functions have been renamed to trypref() and tryword() respectively for consistency with modern versions and for general sanity. o the spell front-end shell script has been completely rewritten o The code has been ANSIfied and re-style(9)d spell currently must be compiled with -fwriteable-strings to make the -b option work. This should be fixed.
