Hi,
	I'm looking for programs that check the spelling
of Appleworks files.  My sister has the Applied Engineering Card
that provides 80-col to a II+ and allows her to use Appleworks version 2.0
or earlier with something like a 10k buffer.
	The problem is that the Appleworks spelling checkers that I've tested
(Megaworks, Webster's, and Timeout) will not allow a II+ to run them
(thinking, apparently, that a II+ shouldn't be able to run such a
program).  Does anyone know of a spelling checking program that checks
Appleworks files and might run on a II+?

Thanks,
Rocky Giovinazzo

P.S.  I've also gone the route of having my sister write her documents
to a text file and then transfer them to DOS 3.3 so that they can
work with "old" spelling checkers but really-- it's quite a lot of work
especially for her who does not understand what DOS 3.3 and ProDOS are
at all.
