SPELL CHECK FOR EDIT BOXES (version 2.01)
----------------------------------------
Please do READ this file, it contains essential information.
The Spell Checker for Edit Boxes has been written by and is copyright ⌐ 1994
by Brian Quinion. All rights reserved.
Whilst every care has been taken in the compilation of this application, it
is provided 'as is' and neither the author nor the publishers shall be held
responsible for any error, omission or consequential loss.
Spell Checker for Edit Boxes is freeware.
System requirements
-------------------
Spell Checker for Edit Boxes requires Microsoft Windows 3.1 or higher.
Changes
-------
The main reason for this upgrade is to improve the interface for programmers,
but improvements have also been made to the code in general, for instance the
undo has been debugged and extra error checking has been put in.
Installation
------------
This program comprises of two parts:
1) The program files (containing this readme file).
2) A dictionary file (.SCD) which provides the words for a particular
language. You must install at least one dictionary file for the program
to work.
At the moment English (UK), English (US) and German are available, although
the german dictionary is still on beta test at present (11/10/94). A
French dictionary is being considered.
You may have received a .SCD with the main program, if not contact your
supplier, or if you have internet access you can ftp them from:
ftp.demon.co.uk /pub/ibmpc/windows/spell
All the files need to be copied to a sub directory on your hard drive. When
you have copied the files you will need to create an icon for the setup
program in Program Manager (consult your windows manual if you are unsure how).
Run setup and follow the instructions.
For details on each of the options available from the options box press 'Help'.
I suggest at this point you stop off and read the help file for information
on each of the available options, and you may also wish to create a user
dictionary.
Usage
-----
From within any edit box press the short cut key that you have set up. The
checker will start. See the help file for details on using the dialog box.
The options box can be reached either from the main spelling checker box
(type in a deliberately incorrect spelling and check it to make the box
display), or by running the setup program.
If you are having problems, try doing a check from notepad, not every edit
control is compatible. You might also like to deselect the 'Edit boxes only'
option, which allows the program to be used from a larger range of programs,
but at some small risk. See the help file for details.
Uninstalling
------------
Select 'Remove' from the Options box. You will be asked to reboot windows.
Once windows has been rebooted the files can be safely deleted from your
hard drive.
