and copy all jspell files into this directory. Then C:\JSPELL
should contain the following 11 files
------------------------------------------------------------------
filename size (bytes) description
------------------------------------------------------------------
00readme 7,581 this file
base.dic 172,461 English word list
dictman.exe 44,009 the dictionary manager executable

manual.doc 97,186 manual
register.doc 10,534 registration information
sample.txt 1,130 sample text for a test drive
------------------------------------------------------------------
If you find any file other than the 11 listed above, any file
missing or having different size, then you know this is not the
official shareware distribution by Nemosoft Technologies.
In order to be able to run jspell (and dictman) in any directory,
either add C:\JSPELL to your PATH or put two batch files
jspell.bat and dictman.bat into one of your directories in PATH.
The content of the batch files jspell.bat and dictman.bat should
look like
@echo off
C:\JSPELL\jspell.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 %10 %11 %12 %13
and
@echo off
C:\JSPELL\dictman.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6
respectively.
The default configuration of jspell is set to VGA and AT-keyboard.
Also we assume that you work under the plain-vanilla DOS
environment. If your computer's configuration and/or environment
is different from this, then you will need to read (Section I.4)
of the documentation file manual.doc.
If you are going to run jspell under a networked environment,
then please read (Appendix A.) of manual.doc to complete the
installation.
In order to print out the documentation file manual.doc, your
printer must be able to handle the IBM graphic characters
correctly.
