The dictionary is proprietary - not even Netscape owns it. For that
reason, the source for the "checking logic" in Mozilla is not checked
into the tree either, as far as I know.
But Netscape does not have an interest to keep that proprietary. I hear
that it would be willing to open-source the "checking login".
Also, there are open-source checkers available.
The only problem is hooking both up. Hurricane wonce worked on it, but
it stalls. Anybody feel free to continue that work. If that helps
anyone, I have a customer that would be willing to spend a few 10$-notes
for it (at least he said so).
