Nice to see that Linux STILL has no spell-checking.

Of course Linux has spell checking. Aspell, for one thing.

Easy peasy. All my mispellings are highlighted now.

Hmmm, it's a PITA in C++ source code. At least it only flags misspellings in

In Jstar I just run a spell check before posting. Unless I'm feeling lazy.
Jstar also uses aspell.

Never heard of jstar, but googling it it looks like a custom language?

Jstar is the WordStar variant of JOE (Joe's Own Editor). JOE comes in
different "flavors." One of which is Jstar...

From the JOE man page...

   JOE is a powerful console screen editor. It has a "mode-less" user
   interface which is similar to many user-friendly PC editors. Users of
   Micro-Pro´s WordStar or Borland´s "Turbo" languages will feel at home.
   JOE is a full featured UNIX screen-editor though, and has many features
   for editing programs and text.

   JOE also emulates several other editors. JSTAR is a close imitation of
   WordStar with many "JOE" extensions. JPICO is a close imitation of the
   Pine mailing system´s PICO editor, but with many extensions and
   improvements. JMACS is a GNU-EMACS imitation. RJOE is a restricted
   version of JOE, which allows you to edit only the files specified on the
   command line.

   Although JOE is actually five different editors, it still requires only
   one executable, but one with five different names. The name of the editor
   with an "rc" appended gives the name of JOE´s initialization file, which
   determines the personality of the editor.

   JOE is free software; you can distribute it and/or modify it under the
   terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software
   Foundation. JOE is available over the Internet from...
                             http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/joe-editor
                            
I think it's also in most repositories.
