-
- @echo off
- C:\JSPELL\jspell.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

- environment. If your computer's configuration and/or environment
- is different from this, then you will need to read (Section I.4)
- of the documentation file manual.doc.
-
- If you are going to run JSPELL under a networked environment,
- then please read (Appendix A.) of manual.doc to complete the
- installation.
-
- In order to print out the documentation file manual.doc, your
- printer must be able to handle the IBM graphic characters
- correctly.

-
- Version 2.03: (Feb.22, 1994)
-
- Member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (Feb.21, 1994)
-
- Branding: JSPELL.EXE for shareware version and the registered
- version are now identical. Registration is done by placing
- a file JSPELL.REG, an ASCII file consisting of three lines:
- registered name, registration number and the code. This makes
- the low updating fee possible. (See Appendix B.Q5 of
- MANUAL.DOC.)
-
- Bug fix: Shift-<space> inserts a space even when the cursor is at
- the right end of the word being edited.
-
-
- Version 2.04: (Jun.7, 1994)
-
- Bug fix: Alt-Shift-A, Alt-Shift-T didn't work at all. Undoing
- [Add to user.dic] and [add To file.dic] didn't work
- occasionally.
