spelling, was: Re: please help with bind 9.1.2

<smile> - I have not posted it anywhere, it is hardly worth it,
it is really very trivial. Here it is:

----------
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/nano -t -R -k -p -x -r65 -s "ispell -x" $1
/usr/bin/ispell -x $1
----------

You can call this script anything you wish - I call it "nanosp" -
but make sure it has execute permissions and put it on your path
somewhere. If you do not like nano you could substitute pico
instead, but you had better check the parameters to make sure
they are right.

BTW - I wish you visually impaired students would not sit way in
the back all the time!
