System name:		infocalypse
Type and version:	SPARC/5 8.1.14 (with mkserv)
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	Run "ispell" with no arguments, to see what arguments were
	available.

What's wrong:
	ispell's help message is broken:

Usage: ispell [-dfile | -pfile | -wchars | -t | -x | -S] file .....
       ispell [-dfile | -pfile | -wchars | -t] -l
       ispell [-dfile | -pfile | -ffile | -t | -s] -a
       placing the word completely, or choosing one of the
 [-wchars] -c

What should have happened:
	I should have given you a patch, but thesis >> OLC >> ispell.
