X-Spell is a spelling checker that will proofread text files created with
most popular word processors and text editors. The dictionary file that
comes with the Shareware version is only 1000 words, but a substantially larger
one is available (see below). Unlike most other spelling checkers, X-Spell
proofreads the entire document and then allows you to move through the
document, deciding what to do with the misspelled words.
To proofread a document:
- make sure that "X-Spell" and "dictionary" are both in your current C
directory.
- from the CLI type "X-Spell <filename>".
- X-Spell will load and beginning proofreading your document (a 10K text
file takes approximately 15 seconds).
Once the document is proofread you can:
- "Next word" will take you to (you guessed it) the next misspelled word.
- "Last word" will take you back one word in the document.
- "Replace All" will replace all occurances of the misspelled word with the
word that is in the string gadget.
- "Replace One" is like replace all, only it replaces a single occurance.
- "Add to dictionary" will add the word in the string gadget to the
dictionary and replace all occurances of the misspelled word.
- "Alternates" gets alternate spellings for the misspelled word.
- Clicking the select button in the body of the scrollbox highlights an
alternate spelling.
- "Replace with" replaces the misspelled word with the highlighted alternate.
Other features:
- "CLI" opens a new CLI window.
- "Open" gets you the file input window.
- "Save" gets you the file output window for saving your files to disk.
- Keyboard alternates:
Next Word...........n
Last Word...........l
Replace All.........r
Replace One.........o
Add to dictionary...a
Alternates..........g
Replace with........w
