subject: FAULT FINDER OVERVIEW discussion: PC-Type II's Fault Finder will check the spelling of a particular word, or your entire document, and will also point out any words used twice in succession. If a word is encountered which does not exist in the PC-Type II dictionary file, PCTYPE.DIC, then an alternative list of words may be requested which may contain the correct spelling of the desired word. If a word is used twice in a row, the Fault Finder will delete the second occurrence at your request. dictionary: In order to check the spelling of a word, the location of the file PCTYPE.DIC must be known to the Fault Finder. This location should be in the .PRO file. (See the Configuration section of this manual to see how to define the location of the Fault Finder dictionary.) If this path is not defined and you attempt to run the Fault Finder, a message will be displayed indicating that the dictionary cannot be found. Should this occur, use keystroke 7 from the Configuration Files menu reached by selecting the "(F)ile handling" option of the Configuration Menu. Then enter the path to the dictionary. Words can be added to the dictionary file using the program PCMERGE.EXE. (See the section Other Programs to see how this can be done.) running: Ctrl Z or the "(F)ault Finder" option in the Main Menu will begin the Fault Finder operation. It will start at the current cursor position and continue toward the end of the file. When a word is encountered which does not appear in the dictionary, or when two words are found twice in succession, the Fault Finder will stop and ask how to proceed. The Fault Finder may be stopped at any time by pressing the Esc key. Ctrl O or the "(W)ord check" option in the Main Menu will check the spelling of the word on which the cursor is currently located. If the word is not in the dictionary, an alternative set of words may be requested. 154 subject: FAULT FINDER OPTIONS discussion: When the Fault Finder is run in its normal mode, (Ctrl Z) and a word is encountered which does not appear in the dictionary, the word is highlighted on the screen and the following menu is displayed. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿥ord: swhap � 팠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� �(A)ccept and continue � �(I)gnore and continue � �(P)ut in ADD file � �(S)earch for alternates� 쿮(X)it Fault Finder � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� The options of this menu are described below. e(X)it: The Fault Finder is stopped and you are returned to the normal edit mode. (I)gnore: Selecting this option will cause the Fault Finder to continue as if the word under the cursor were in the dictionary. If the same word is encountered again, the Fault Finder will stop again. (A)ccept: The word under the cursor is placed in a temporary buffer and the Fault Finder continues. If the same word is encountered again, the Fault Finder will not stop, but will continue as if the word were actually in the dictionary. The temporary buffer is only active during the current PC-Type II session. When you exit PC-Type II, the buffer will be gone. This buffer holds the first 100 words assigned. (P)ut: This option is similar to the "(A)ccept" option described above. In addition, however, the word under the cursor is placed in the file PCTYPE.ADD located in the same directory as the dictionary. You can use the program PCMERGE.EXE to add the contents of the PCTYPE.ADD file to the dictionary. (See the section "Other programs" for a further discussion of PCMERGE.EXE) (S)earch: This option provides a list of alternative words which exist in the dictionary and which may be the correct word. Any word in the list can be used to replace the highlighted word. This option is described on the next page. 155 subject: FAULT FINDER ALTERNATIVE WORDS discussion: If you check the spelling of one word with Ctrl O and the word does not exist in the dictionary, the message "Search for Alternate spelling?" will be displayed. If you press Y for Yes, the Fault Finder will look for ten words in the dictionary which most closely approximate the word in question. If the Fault Finder is running in Ctrl Z mode and a word is found which does not exist in the dictionary, and you select the "(S)earch for alternates" option, the Fault Finder will again look for ten words in the dictionary as above. Ctrl Z mode Ctrl O Mode 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿥ord: procede � 쿥ord: procede � 팠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� 팠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� �(A)ccept and continue� �(0) precede � �(I)gnore and continue� �(1) procedure � �(P)ut in ADD file � �(2) proceed � 쿮(X)it Fault Finder � �(3) proceeded � �(0) precede � �(4) procure � �(1) procedure � �(5) process � �(2) proceed � �(6) provide � �(3) proceeded � �(7) proceeds � �(4) procure � �(8) preceded � �(5) process � �(9) precedes � �(6) provide � 쿮(X)it � �(7) proceeds � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� �(8) preceded � �(9) precedes � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� If the correct word exists in the list, press the number (0 through 9) which corresponds to the desired selection and that word will replace the word under the cursor. The case of the word replaced is respected, e.g., if the word is capitalized, the replacement word will also be capitalized. If the correct word does not exist in the list, you can press X for "e(X)it" or the Esc key which returns you to the edit mode with the cursor on the word in question. You can then type in the correction. In Ctrl Z mode, the standard options described on the previous page are also presented with the word selection. 156 subject: FAULT FINDER DOUBLE WORDS discussion: When the Fault Finder is running in the Ctrl Z mode, if the same word is encountered twice in succession, PC-Type II will tell you and a menu similar to that shown below will appear: 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 쿥ord: fifty � 팠袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� �(A)ccept and continue� �(I)gnore and continue� �(D)elete � 쿮(X)it Fault Finder � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Each option is described below. e(X)it: This option will exit the Fault Finder and return you to the edit mode with the cursor on the second of the two duplicate words. (I)gnore: Selecting this option will cause the Fault Finder to continue as if no word duplication existed. If the same duplicate words are encountered again, the Fault Finder will stop again. (A)ccept: The word under the cursor is placed in a temporary buffer and the Fault Finder continues. If the same duplicate words are encountered again, the Fault Finder will not stop but continue as if no duplication had occurred. This is handy, for example, if you are writing a paper about Walla Walla, Washington and don't want the Fault Finder to stop every time it encounters that city's name in the text. The temporary buffer is only active during the current PC-Type II session. When you finally exit PC-Type II, the buffer will be lost. The temporary buffer will hold the first 100 words assigned. (D)elete: The second word is deleted from the text just as if the Del key were pressed repeatedly until the word disappears. 157
