You have probably heard of it under its former name of QEDIT. QEDIT has
been bought by Semware, and the program has now been officially renamed
as Q.EXE. There are DOS versions and also there are Windows versions.

Spell checkers are nice-to-have features. Looking up words in dictionaries
can be slow. Another nice thing about spell-checkers is that they will
usually catch a typo error. It is very important in a mailing list like
this to pay very close attention to your spelling because there are many
list members whose primary language is not English. When they should
encounter a word that they can't find in a dictionary, they will write back
to inquire about it's meaning. Of course it is most embarrassing to have
to explain to everybody that you have made a spelling mistake that you could
have easily avoided if you had used a spell-checker.
All the best,
