Vim - Greek Spell Checking

Notes on setting up Greek Spell Checking on Vim

I have seen and used a few different ways on setting up Greek Spelling on Vim. This is an easy one

Get it 
# wget http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/spell/el.utf-8.spl


Move it to the appropriate place --usually the following 
# mv el.utf-8.spl /usr/share/vim/vim72/spell/


Use it 
# vi test-greek-spelling
:setlocal spell spelllang=el


on some systems you just need to type 
:setlocal spell spelllang=el
in Normal Mode as root and the downloading and installation of the Greek MySpell will happen auto-magically
