I write in VIM, format through nroff.
For spell check I use a script named ispell.
Yup, worked on bolt, works at panix, works on the linux at my work too.

At sh.sonic.net the following line appears at the top of the file.

Error: No word lists can be found for the language "en_US".

Good catch. aspell was installed (which provides backward compatibility with the ispell command), but the aspell-en package wasn't installed. It's installed now.
