Maltese spell check

This email by Ramon Casha of Malta Linux is doing the rounds. It is a response to comments made by Investments Minister Austin Gatt as quoted in this report by Di-ve

"IT and Investment Minister Austin Gatt wished success to Sirap and recounted when Microsoft was told to include Maltese in their list of languages. However unfortunately, he argued, so far there is neither a dictionary nor spell check for the Maltese language due to lack of agreement between Maltese intellectuals over the spelling of some words."

Kieku l-ministru Gatt staqsa 'll-impjegati tieghu stess kienu jghiidulu li fil-fatt spell-checker bil-Malti jezisti ghax huma juzawh il-hin kollu. Sfortunatament jidher li jekk ma jkollhomx "Microsoft" fuqhom l-affarijiet qishom ma jezistux.

I would appreciate if any one can help me to find the website regarding maltese spell check, it was a very useful site, every language has it's own spell check on the computer why not in maltese too.
