My spelling is really pretty poor, and I would like to have an on-line spelling checker on my side in the war against typos. The environment I want to use is the vt-52 (or st-52) terminal emulator desk accessory. I am using my 520ST (1 Meg, TOS in ROM, 2 SS drives, Monochrome) as a very nice, and intelligent terminal to a Vax 11/780 running 4.3BSD. I use vi on the vax and would like to have something on the atari that checks my spelling in real time. I have looked at Thunder (copyright by someone) and I am not sure if it is capable of being used with the terminal emulator desk accessory. I have looked at hippospell and I don't think that it is a real time spelling checker. I really have to have it real-time and while using the terminal emulator. Please! anyone! with any ideas, or personal experience with Thunder or the like, let me know. Any response is greatly appreciated!
