1. What is Spelmate
--------------------
Spelmate is a DLL (Dynamic Link Library) that you can use to add spell
checking to your Windows application. Because it is a DLL it can be called
from any programming system that support DLL's including C,C++, Pascal,
and Visual Basic.
Spelmate is available in American and British verions.
There is no royalty associated with Spelmate, and once you have registered
the Shareware message will not be shown, and your users will be unaware of
the origins of spelmate.
A number of sample programs in Borland Pascal are included to illustrate how
to use Spelmate. Spelmate is also used by Help Edit, a Windows Help File
generation system, also from Aciran Software Systems.
