I prefer SpellGuard for OS/2 and SpellCheck for Windows. They allow
real time spelling intervention instead of batch checking at the end of
a document. It may seem intrusive at first, but you actually learn to
spell much more quickly when you're corrected *at the moment* you make
the mistake. That's the way brains are hard wired.

They're both commercial products, but maybe they'd cut a deal.
