TSE: Linux: WSL: Spellcheck: Method: hunspell

[knud van eeden]

 Q. TSE: Linux: WSL: Spellcheck: Method: hunspell

Here a Proof Of Concept (=POC) of running a spellcheck also in TSE for

Linux.

===

Steps: Overview:

 1. -The attached TSE SAL program was created with and by Artificial

     Intelligence ChatGPT 5 (with TSE SAL re-compilation instructions and prompts

     and design instructions directed by me).

 2. -Based on the external 3rd party hunspell spellcheck dictionary.

     (many different natural languages are available).

     Here the United States English dictionary was used for testing.

     But e.g. Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, German, French, Romanian, ...

              spell check dictionaries can assumed quite easily also be

              installed and used.

 3. -Tested with currently latest

      TSE for Linux version 4.50.13

     on Linux WSL (Ubuntu)

 4. -Only once on Linux WSL you must install hunspell.

     Type on the WSL command line

     (and supply your sudo password)

      sudo apt-get install hunspell hunspell-en-us

 5. -Once compile the attached file

      spellchk_linux.s

 6. -Then open e.g. a file in TSE with some words with errors in it.

      See the attached

       ddd.txt

      for an example.

 7. -Then run the attached TSE macro

      spellchk_linux.mac

 8. -It should work similarly regarding menu options to choose from as the

     original spellchk.s as located in your TSE for Microsoft Windows 'mac' subdirectory

     and as available in the TSE for Microsoft Windows menu > 'Utils' > 'Spellcheck'.
