Who else besides Doug worked on spell?

Do I understand correctly that you invented the original pipeline based
spell:

	tr ... |				# split words to one line
		tr ... | 			# lower case
			sort -u |		# sort and uniq
				comm -12 - dict	# find words not in dictionary

I didn't know that you'd worked on a rewrite in C.

Thanks,

Arnold
