I will post a uuencoded binary of my SPELL program as soon as I get 'phone
service (should be Monday, September 29).

About the dictionary for SPELL:  in the user's guide I mentioned that a
dictionary file (really a list of words) is built by the program itself.
The program starts out knowing no words, and asks about each word in the
file being corrected.  After the program has been used for some time, most
of the words that you use will be known to the program, and it will only
ask about new words and misspelled words.

There is no problem with starting out with a big dictionary file.  Just name
it words.txt and place it on the same disk with spell.prg.  This file should
be an ordinary text file with one word per line.

I don't know where you would get such a file...

Hope this helps.  I'll post the binary file as soon as possible.
