vimspell.sh

===========

This is a simple script to spell check a file and generate the syntax

statements necessary to highlight the errors in vim. It is based on a

similar program by Krishna Gadepalli <[email protected]>.

To use this script, first place it in a directory in your path. Next,

you should add some convenient key mappings. I use the following (in

.vimrc):

noremap <F8> :so `vimspell.sh %`<CR><CR>

noremap <F7> :syntax clear SpellErrors<CR>

This program requires the old Unix "spell" command. On my Debian

system, "spell" is a wrapper around "ispell". For better security,

you should uncomment the line in the script that uses "tempfile" to

create a temporary file. As all systems don't have "tempfile" the

insecure "pid method" is used.
