- LICENSE:
- By installing this program, WinSpell 3.0d, here after known as
- Program, you accept the terms and conditions as per this licence
- agreement:
-
- R&TH Inc. will have no obligation to provide technical support or updates
- or upgrades to Company under this Agreement. R&TH Inc. licenses the
- Software solely on an "AS IS" basis.
-
- Users are granted a limited license to use the Program for a single
- evaluation period not to exceed 30 days in order to determine if it
- suits their needs. Any other use of the Program or use past this
- period requires that you obtain a Licensed, non-demonstration copy
- of WinSpell through R&TH Inc. or your local software store.
-
- You may copy this version of the Program, WinSpell 3.0d, and only
- this version, for the purpose of allowing others to try it, subject
- to the above restrictions as well as the following.
-
- If copied and distributed, the Program must be distributed in
- unmodified form, including all programs, dynamic link libraries,
- documentation, and other files. File compression (archival) is
- allowed as long as the compressed version is expandable identically
- to an uncompressed copy and includes all files as the original

-
- RELEASE NOTES:
- The standard WinSpell Dictionaries are referred to as COMMON.DCT
- FULL.DCT throughout the documentation. We have changed their names
- to COMMON.WSD and FULL.WSD to more clearly distinguish them from the
- User Dictionaries, which use the .DCT extension by default.
-
- WinSpell unchecks the "Use Clipboard Editor" after the initial
- Search and Replace operation on the Clipboard. This is because
- WinspEdt can and will load multiple copies of itself at WinSpell's
- request. You really only want to use one WinspEdt session for
- Clipboard correction.
-
- TROUBLE-SHOOTING:
- If WinSpell doesn't beep when you misspell a word, either you have
- not added the window into which you are typing to WinSpell, or you
- have not set your Enable System Sounds check box in the Sounds applet
- of the Windows Control Panel. This must be on for WinSpell to be
- able to access Windows sound abilities.
-
- WinSpell does not auto-attach its keyboard to your application.
- Make sure you have an association (Settings|Associations...
- menu item) for the application. If the application does not
- have a Search and Replace facility, simply associate it with the
- NO_MACRO.JNL file. NO_MACRO.JNL is a file which contains no
- pre-recorded keystrokes and thus does nothing. However, since
- there is a macro file associated with your application, WinSpell
- will auto-attach the keyboard spelling monitor whenever the
- application is started.
-
- Your application has a Search and Replace facility but WinSpell
- doesn't have a matching journal file. WinSpell can help you create,
- store and associate a new Search and Replace macro journal file
- to use with your application. See the Help or The User's Manual
- and Reference for information about how to create and association
- the macro.
-
- Search and Replace operations don't always act quite right.
- Some applications have idiosyncrasies with respect to the Search
- and Replace dialog boxes they implement. You should generally
- close the Search and Replace dialogs after each global correction
- of a word in your documents before starting another correction.
- Additionally, many presentation applications have additional
- options such as Check All Slides or Entire Presentation. Make
- sure the correct options are set such that the Search and Replace
- operation will catch all your slides. See the WinSpell User's
- Manual and Reference for information about using the Search and
- Replace document correction facility. Additionally, see the
- "Search and Replace" Tips in the WinSpell Help.
-
- INSTALLATION NOTES:
- In order to install WinSpell Release 3.0, you must use the
- WinSpell installation program. The files are compressed and
- cannot simply be copied and renamed.
-
- Delete the versions 1.70 and below of WinSpell completely.
- Release 3.0 is not backward compatible with the dictionary files.
- If you have personal dictionary files you still want to use,
- execute the DCT2ASC utility to convert the dictionaries to a text
- file. See your previous documentation for details. WinSpell
- Release 3.0 can read text files and merge them into the new
- User Dictionaries.
-
- If WinSpell complains about the format of a dictionary and you
- have WinSpell 1.70 or below, WinSpell is probably still
- attempting to load the older format dictionaries. Use the
- Settings/All... dialog box to reference the correct dictionary
- (which is where you just installed WinSpell).
-
- If WinSpell complains that the "Table is Full", you are not
- running the correct WINSPELL.EXE. Reset the Properties... via
- the File/Properties... of the Program Manager. Also, if you
- are running the incorrect version, you are probably also
- referencing incorrect dictionaries. See the previous paragraph
- for details.
-
- The following is a short explanation for each file:

- in WIN.INI.

-
- WINSPEDT.EXE - WinSpell's Accessory Editor. This is a simple
- text editor which WinSpell uses to perform Search
