Tim here. According to my Debian box packages, the aspell package should include a Canadian word-list. You can either specify it with a one-off $ aspell -d en_CA ... or you can put it in your config: $ echo lang en_CA >> ~/.aspell.conf to make it the default. You can then check files like $ aspell check mydocument.txt If the TUI interface is a bit too cluttered for your taste, lying about your terminal-type can help: $ TERM=dumb aspell check mydocument.txt There are a LOT of options to aspell, so you can lose hours reading up on it and experimenting, but that should give you the basics. -Tim On 2022-11-23 22:00, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > Hi, > rather simple. > My dream here would actually be a DOS port of an entire Canadian word > processor, but I will take something that might be usable from the command > line only. > any ideas? > Karen > > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list > _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
