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 <krishna@stdavids.picker.com>.
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.
