- I have seen a TSR spell checker and grammar checker for Russian that
- will work with most ASCII-based russian systems. It's called "ORFO"
- and works very nicely in WordPerfect running with CRS from Cornell.

- As you can imagine, any "spell checker" in an inflected language must
- also be a very intelligent grammar checker. This one will take a
- phrase like "istoria vtoraya mirovaya voina" and bleep you saying
- "genative case does not agree" and offer a correction. It comes loaded
- with all the EXCEPTIONAL verb and noun declensions in Russian and a
- facility to learn. Basically, if it encouters a new noun, it will
- prompt you for the genative singular and the nom plural, and then
- figure out the rest. For a new verb, it will ask 1st person singular
- and past tense or something and then figure out the other cases. Very
- nice product.
