Bowerbird,

I am a Linux guy.  enchant was installed already, as was aspell.  For the Mac you might try Macports:

Some things are much harder on a Mac or Windows than they are on Linux and I think this is going to be an example of that.  Fancy text processing using command line tools is one of the areas where Linux excels.

The output file is here:

you would rather use canned programs?  what fun is that?       :+)

anyway, i'd love to see the output file.  can you dropbox it?
