Probably.

However, if you post to the list using plain text instead of HTML, 
you'll get more answers because more people will be able to read the 
question.

If God had intended us to use HTML email, prayers would end </amen>

Now that we've got past the "read the email" barrier, we face the 
"_understand_ the email" barrier. You want a program to check what 
people type into a character-based app against a dictionary?

If so, the "aspell" is one way of achieving this. Type "info:aspell" 
into Konqueror's location bar if you have both it and aspell installed. 
If you don't, then you'll need to use YAST to install both first, at 
which point I defer to the SuSE fans on this list. Aspell has a number 
of API interfaces, including C. What language is the app written in?

Cheers; Leon
