You are correct! Any mentions of ispell specifically should be replaced with more general text. You may want to occasionally make reference back to some initial section about spelling where you mention the different flavors of spellchecker out there and any subtleties that a user may have to pay attention to. May I suggest, once you know what your replacement prhases should be, doing a document-wide "Find 'ispell'" on every one of the manuals? Then, once you've finished all your edits, do the "Find 'ispell'" again to make sure you got them all. (This is the very same technique I used 7 years ago. Very good for such global doc-refactors.) -- John Weiss
