4This is a simple script to spell check a file and generate the syntax
5statements necessary to highlight the errors in vim. It is based on a
6similar program by Krishna Gadepalli <krishna@stdavids.picker.com>.

8To use this script, first place it in a directory in your path. Next,
9you should add some convenient key mappings. I use the following (in
10.vimrc):
11
12 noremap <F8> :so `vimspell.sh %`<CR><CR>
13 noremap <F7> :syntax clear SpellErrors<CR>
14
15This program requires the old Unix "spell" command. On my Debian
16system, "spell" is a wrapper around "ispell". For better security,
17you should uncomment the line in the script that uses "tempfile" to
18create a temporary file. As all systems don't have "tempfile" the
19insecure "pid method" is used.
