-
- Welcome to SuperSpell, the global, real-time spelling checker!
-
- SuperSpell installs an input handler, and runs invisibly in the background.
- Anything you type into any window will have its spelling checked. Only words
- greater than 4 letters long are checked.
-
- If the word you have just typed is not found in the dictionary, you are
- notified, either by a window appearing, or by a screen flash.
-
- USAGE :
-
- SuperSpell <dictionary> [-e] [-r]
-
- <dictionary> - Pathname of dictionary to use
- -e - Initially disable SuperSpell
- -r - Initially enable the alert window
-
-
- Note : SuperSpell only runs from the CLI.
-
- The dictionary file is a straight ASCII file, with one word on each line.
- Case is not important, but the file **_MUST BE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER_**. You
- may edit the supplied dictionary, or create one of your own. Note that this
- version of SuperSpell will not handle accented letters, which effectively
- rules out using it in anything other than English. Sorry :-)
-
- SuperSpell can be temporarily disabled, but remain in memory. To disable
- SuperSpell, press LEFT_SHIFT-CTRL-F1, and again to enable it. SuperSpell can
- also be started disabled with the -e flag.
-
- To turn the alert window on and off, press LEFT_SHIFT-CTRL-F2. The alert
- window defaults to being off, unless you use the -r flag.
-
- To remove SuperSpell from memory, press LEFT_SHIFT-CTRL-F10.
-
- The supplied dictionary file is very brief, and only contains just over
- 9000 words. If you intend using the program seriously you will have to find
- a much bigger and better dictionary file; there are several available in the
- public domain.
