Aucbvax.2356 fa.works utzoo!duke!decvax!ucbvax!works Sun Jul 19 09:20:52 1981 Bell Labs writers workbench >From mike@RAND-UNIX Sun Jul 19 09:11:08 1981 As has been mentioned, Bell Labs has put together a "writers workbench" which is a set of tools to help detect and correct common errors. Along with a spell program, there is also a program to correct "bad diction", along with an "explain" program which acts as an interactive thesaurus.

If you are interested, send me a message and I will forward off the manual page.
