This may or may not help - but Jon Bentley's "Programming Pearl's" Book
(Chapter 13) has a 3 page description of how one Doug McIlroy developed
a spell program in 1978 for an unidentified UNIX system.
Other possible sources -
McIlroy "Development of a spelling checker" IEEE Transactions on Communications,
vol COM-30, No 1, Jan 1982, pp91-99.
