Word list check

A package for updating and correcting word lists (for example for ispell) via WWW.

The system has unfortunately some limitations, so we are considering a completely new design.

The current version is implemented in Ada and Unix shell scripts. You can learn about Ada in the Ada Programming wikibook.
