Excalibur has its roots in a software engineering course at
Bucknell University in the spring semester of 1990. Rob Gottshall
and Rick Zaccone produced the current version using the original
application as a base.
Version 1.1 was produced in February 1992. We have rewritten
substantial portions of version 1.0.
Some new features include:
• User defined dictionaries now work.
• Many improvements to the user interface.
• LaTeX/TeX command recognizer completely rewritten. LaTeX
command recognition is now excellent. Plain TeX command
recognition is good. The syntax of plain TeX is difficult to
parse. We are not sure how much the plain TeX recognition will
improve in the future, but please send us information about any
problems you have.
• Excalibur knows about accented characters and ligatures.
• Excalibur will optionally ignore text in the \tt font.
• Excalibur will now warn you if it thinks it found a LaTeX
syntax error in a file.
• Excalibur is considerably faster than version 1.0.
Version 1.0 was produced in May 1990.
