Short: Word processor with built-in spelling checker.
Author: Nicholas Harvey (N.J.Harvey-93@student.lut.ac.uk)
Uploader: Nicholas Harvey (N.J.Harvey-93@student.lut.ac.uk)
Type: text/edit
Replaces: text/edit/TextEngine5.0.lha
** NOTE: BUGFIX!! *********************************************************
This version of TextEngine is identical to V5.0 except I have removed a bug
which caused incompatibility problems with programs which replace the
standard Workbench requesters with ReqTools ones.
***************************************************************************
FEATURES:
Since its last release (version 4.1), TextEngine has undergone a total
rewrite. Although no major new additions have been made, every feature of
TextEngine has been improved to increase useability and flexibility. Here
then are some of the more significant features of this new version:
- The GUI has been brought bang up to date by replacing the old fixed font
Intuition GUI with a fully font sensitive GadTools system. Since
TextEngine now uses the Workbench screen instead of its own custom one,
it adapts itself to your font, screen mode, and palette settings,
blending in seamlessly with your working environment.
- The length of a document is limited only by the amount of memory your
machine contains, the same applying to the cut & paste buffers.
- 11 type styles are still available, but now they are represented within
the document by more meaningful symbols (e.g. bold text is represented by
an inverted B character). Also, page margins are now overlaid on the text
editing window allowing for easier positioning of text on the page.
- BOOPSI slider gadgets in the window borders allow quick and easy movement
around long documents.
- TextEngine now supports the Workbench AppWindow feature, allowing
documents to be loaded by simply dragging their icons onto TextEngine's
window.
- The 36,000 word spelling checker has been made more intelligent and now
gives meaningful suggestions for the correct spelling of a word. Also,
words can now be corrected automatically by the spelling checker instead
of having to type corrections in by hand.
REQUIREMENTS:
I have programmed and tested TextEngine on my 4MB A1200 and it appears to
work fine. However, no Workbench 3.x specific routines have been used, so
it should be happy running on a 1MB system with Workbench 2.x. However, more
memory is recommended if the spelling checker is to be used whilst editing
long documents.
TextEngine also requires the asl.library to be present in the LIBS drawer on
your boot disk, and the parallel.device and printer.device correctly
installed in the DEVS drawer for printing documents.
