### Spelling checkers for work with TeX

For Unix, ispell is probably the program of choice; it is well integrated with the emacs, and deals with some TeX syntax.

For Windows, there is a good spell checker incorporated into the WinEDT and 4AllTeX shell/editors. The 4AllTeX checker is also available as a separate package, 4spell.

For the Macintosh, Excalibur is the program of choice. It will run in native mode on both sorts of Macintosh. The distribution comes with dictionaries for several languages.

The VMS Pascal program spell makes special cases of some important features of LaTeX syntax.

For MSDOS, there are several programs. Amspell can be called from within an editor, and jspell is an extended version of ispell.
