SYNOPSIS
spellwwb [ -flags ][ -ver ] [ -f pfile ][ -b ][ -v ][ -x
][file ...]
spelladd [ -flags ][ -ver ] word1 word2 ...
DESCRIPTION
Spellwwb is a modified version of spell(1). Spellwwb allows
the user to have his/her own file of additional legitimate
spellings, by default $HOME/lib/spelldict. Before reporting
words not found in spell's dictionary, spellwwb compares
them with words in the specified file ($HOME/lib/spelldict
by default).
When a text is run through spellwwb for the first time,
words such as names, acronyms, and unusual words will be
listed as errors. Words like these that are spelled cor-
rectly can then be added to $HOME/lib/spelldict, and future
spellwwb lists will contain only real spelling errors.
The following options are available:
-f pfile Use pfile instead of $HOME/lib/spelldict as
the additional file of legitimate spellings.
-b Check British spelling.
-v Print all words not literally in the spelling
list, and show plausible derivations from the
words in the spelling list.
-x For each word, print every plausible stem with
=.
Two options, which apply to both spellwwb and spelladd, give
information about the programs:
-flags print the command synopsis line (see above)
showing command flags and options, then exit.
-ver print the Writer's Workbench version number of
the command, then exit.
Spelladd adds words, specified by the user, to
$HOME/lib/spelldict, and maintains it in sorted order. It
can be used in two ways.

from one file to be added to spelldict.

Then, type the following command to have all the
remaining words listed by spell (correct words)
added to $HOME/lib/spelldict:
