Subject: Excalibur 1.1.1 - LaTeX Spelling Checker
Excalibur 1.1.1 is a maintenance release. It fixes a problem that
appeared on small screen Macintoshes such as the Plus, SE and Classic
when looking at the About box. There are no new features. Attached
is a copy of my announcement for version 1.1.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Excalibur is a Macintosh spelling checker for LaTeX documents. It also
does a fairly good job with plain TeX files. It reads files of type
TEXT and it is smart enough to ignore most LaTeX commands and a fair
number of plain TeX commands. Since it just ignores these commands, it
will also serve quite nicely as a spelling checker for any TEXT file
that doesn't contain any LaTeX or TeX commands. (It is not completely
accurate to say that Excalibur ignores LaTeX commands. It will process
any arguments that contain text).
Excalibur is a stand-alone application that we have tested with both
OzTeX and Textures documents. The fact that it is a stand-alone
application should not present any inconvenience since it works with
MultiFinder under System 6 and it is compatible with System 7.
This is version 1.1. It is a significant improvement over version
1.0. This new version supports user defined dictionaries.
You will need System 6.0 or higher to run Excalibur.
There is extensive on-line help. You will find it under the Apple
menu if you are running System 6, and under the Balloon Help menu if
you are running System 7 or greater.
