Needs RAM tho.. (Program + Dictionary = about .6 meg) 2) Easyto add words to the dictionary, but a REXX program could make it totally painless. 3) With CED (And others?) it Will check as you type stuff in. PROBLEMS---- 1) and the only one.. The Doc File in the uuencoded LZH file was Munged... :^( (SO i wonder if i could get just the DOC files again) 2) It is distrubuted with the OLD version of RUNBACK.. if ya use the New version everything gets piped to Null: twice. (I think this Totally messs up somthing) ------- In response to the original post The electronic theosurus (hay I can't figger out how to hook up ISPELL to VLT eh..) is an OK program... (a little over rated) . -- yorkw@ecn.purdue.edu Willis F York (Hope THIS sig don't insult anyone!)
