This is a simplistic spelling corrector. It takes the list of words on
the command line (or one line of standard input), applies small
perturbations to them and checks the variants against a standard
dictionary (via the spell program). The survivors are then suggested as
corrections for the presumably mispelled word.

For example:

$ correct calender arithmatic
arithmetic
calendar

This idea came from "Computer Programs for Spelling Correction",
Peterson, Springer-Verlag LNCS.

Its deficiencies are noted in the manual page. I am working on a better
version, but would be glad to hear of bug reports or improvements.  I
don't promise to do anything about such reports though.
