Subject: UK spellchecker

My IT colleagues would like to put a UK-specific spellchecker on our network.  I gave them details of the Spellex product, which claims to be adapted for the UK market, but they checked a few 'oe' and 'ae' words on the trial version, and they were spelt US fashion.  Does anyone know of anything else?
