1vimspell.sh

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 <[email protected]>.

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.
