- Start by making a copy of this disk and filing the original away for
- safekeeping.

-
- This disk contains the following files:
-
- * ELRAY.DIC
- * BORLAND.DIC
- * WORD.DIC
- * WORDSTAR.DIC
- * PRINT.DIC
- * READ.ME
-
- ELRAY.DIC is the complete, 981 word Elray Software Legal Dictionary.
-
- BORLAND.DIC, WORD.DIC and WORDSTAR.DIC are edited versions of the
- Elray Software Legal Dictionary.
-
- PRINT.DIC is a version of ELRAY.DIC which can be printed or used in a
- window application.
-
- READ.ME is this file.

-
- Each of the four dictionary files on this disk is an alphabetical
- listing of English and Latin legal words written in ASCII text,
- and is specifically intended to supplement word processors with
- built-in spell-checkers which can read or write ASCII text files.
-
-
- ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
-
- BORLAND.DIC, WORD.DIC and WORDSTAR.DIC contain only those words
- that are not already contained in the main dictionaries of
- *Borland's Turbo Lightning spell-checker (the FLP-DISK.DIC file);
- *Microsoft Word Ver. 4.0; and *WordStar Ver. 4.0, respectively.
-
- The WORD.DIC file, for example, contains 491 legal words which
- can be loaded into one of the supplemental *Microsoft Word user
- created dictionary files. The simplest way to install WORD.DIC
- into a user created dictionary is to load it in the word
- processor, run it through Word's spell-checker, and save each
- word to file individually. It's also possible to load WORD.DIC
- as a complete file. See the *Microsoft Word manual for more
- information.
-
- BORLAND.DIC and WORDSTAR.DIC can be loaded as complete files by
- using the DOS RENAME command to change their file names to file
- names acceptable to *Borland's Turbo Lightning and *WordStar.
- See the user manuals for more information.

-
- The ELRAY.DIC file is intended for use with word processors such
- as *PC-Write, *WordPerfect, *pfs:Write, *XyWrite and others with
- built-in spell-checkers which can load or write ASCII text files.
-
- Using *PC-Write 3.0 as an example, load the ELRAY.DIC file into
- the word processor, run it through the spell-checker, and erase
- each word in the ELRAY.DIC file that it recognizes. Close up the
- blank spaces in the file with the word processor's editing
- functions, RENAME the file WORDS.NUL, and load it in the same
- directory or on the same disk as WORDS.MAS and WORDS.EXE. See the
- *PC-Write user manual for more information.
-
- Some word processors such as *XyWrite already contain
- supplemental legal spell-checkers. Load the ELRAY.DIC file and
- run it through both the main dictionary spell-checker and the
- legal spell-checker. Add the words from the ELRAY.DIC file that
- are in neither dictionary to the supplemental legal spell-checker.

-
- PRINT.DIC is a complete list of the words in ELRAY.DIC, alphabetized
- from left to right, but printed in five columns across the full width
- of the monitor screen so that it can be loaded as a text file and used
- in a window application. Similarly, it can be paginated and printed
- out. Before loading PRINT.DIC for the first time (or immediately
- after loading, depending on the word processor), be sure and adjust
- the left margin to column 1, and the right margin to column 76, and
- save these settings to file.
