Document Preparation Aids for Non-Major Languages
------------------------------------------------------------
These programs are intended as tools for field linguists who need
to prepare documents in languages other than English.
+ WRDCHG makes changes to the words of a text, while preserving
capitalization, punctuation, and formatting.
+ SYLCHK identifies potential spelling errors in text, using
decomposition into syllables as the method for identifying
possible errors, and returns these as a list.
+ SYLCOR is an interactive editor for correcting potential
errors, using the same method as SYLCHK for finding possible
errors.
+ SPLCOR is an interactive editor for correcting potential
errors, based on word lists of known correct words.
+ HYPHEN introduces a user-determined character at syllable
boundaries. It uses a different mechanism for identifying
syllables than SYLCHK and SYLCOR.
+ DELIM checks text to see that delimiters (characters like quote
marks, brackets, braces, parentheses, and so on) are paired and
properly nested.
