$ ./img2iso.sh
#: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
and
$ sh -x img2iso.sh
$
What is more strange:
$ cat img2iso.sh
done$ exists! Incrementing suffix"
I have triple checked that the directory does exist and is spelled correctly with proper case.
In the second case nothing happens but a prompt change. No echoes.
In the img2iso directory no files have changed extension after running the script.
The concatenate I can't even begin to understand. It seems very odd to prompt the last echo like that.
I will have to look this over carefully again and again as I'm sure your code is good. I just can't see what I'm missing on my side.
I'm on a MacOS X 10.4, perhaps this matters? I use Smultron as editor.

spell(1) General Commands Manual spell(1)
NAME
spell, hashmake, spellin, hashcheck - find spelling errors
SYNOPSIS
local_file] [files]
n
spelling_list
DESCRIPTION
The command collects words from the named files and looks them up in a spelling list. Words that neither occur among nor are derivable (by
applying certain inflections, prefixes, and/or suffixes) from words in the spelling list are printed on the standard output. If no files
are named, words are collected from the standard input.
The command ignores most and eqn constructions.
Options
The command recognizes the following options:
All words not literally in the spelling list are printed,
and plausible derivations from the words in the spelling list are indicated.
British spelling is checked.
Besides preferring etc., this option insists upon in certain words, such as in
Every plausible stem is printed with
for each word.
By default, follows chains of included files much like (see deroff(1)) which recognizes the intrinsics and the names of such included files
begin with If the option is used, follows the chains of included files. With the option, ignores all chains of included files.
If the option is used, words found in local_file are removed from output. local_file is the name of a user-provided file containing a
sorted list of words, one per line. With this option, the user can specify a set of words that are correct spellings (in addition to
spell's own spelling list) for each job.
The spelling list is based on many sources, and while more haphazard than an ordinary dictionary, is also more effective with respect to
proper names and popular technical words. Coverage of the specialized vocabularies of biology, medicine, and chemistry is light.
Pertinent auxiliary files can be specified by name arguments, indicated below with their default settings (see FILES and VARIABLES).
Copies of all output are accumulated in the history file. The stop list filters out misspellings (such as that would otherwise pass.
Three routines help maintain and check the hash lists used by
Reads a list of words from the standard input and
writes the corresponding nine-digit hash code on the standard output. This program only accepts words that are up to
30 characters long. When words exceeding 30 characters are encountered, a diagnostic message is displayed on stan-
dard error.
Reads n hash codes from the standard input and writes a compressed spelling list on the standard output. Information about
the hash coding is printed on standard error.
Reads a compressed
spelling_list and recreates the nine-digit hash codes for all the words in it; it writes these codes on the standard
output.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

EXAMPLES
To check spelling of a single word:
If word is spelled correctly, a prompt is returned. If it is spelled incorrectly, word is printed before the prompt is returned. To check
spelling of multiple words, they can also be typed as a group on the same command line:
To create a personal spelling list that incorporates the words already present in the default American spelling list file
To modify the default British spelling list file replace all occurrences of with in the above example.
To add words to the default spelling list, change login to change the current working directory to and execute the commands listed in the
above example.
WARNINGS
The spelling list's coverage is uneven. When undertaking the use of as a new tool, it may be advisable to monitor the output for several
months to gather local additions. Typically, these are kept in a separate local file that is added to the hashed spelling_list via as
shown above.
The British spelling feature was developed by an American.
Start-up versions of files and are available in directory If these files or a suitable equivalent are not present in directory complains:
The command is likely to be withdrawn from X/Open standards. Applications using this command might not be portable to other vendors' sys-
tems.
