- I also regularly use a dictionary/thesaurus and
- grammar/style checker program. Here are my
- recommendations.
-
- Spelling/Thesaurus The stand-alone dictionary/thesaurus programs tend to
- ================== be a magnitude better than those included with most
- word processors. I like REF SET from Reference Software.
- Besides, it works with all the software I've created.
-
- Compatibility issues REF SET is a memory-resident program that runs with
- ==================== the above listed software. In addition, all three
- formats of spelling checking -- single word, full
- screen, and file checking -- are compatible with
- MaxThink and HOUDINI file formats. (Press PgDn)

-
- Grammar/style Checking I pass my files through GRAMMATIK-III for a final check
- ====================== of grammar and style. The program checks for 30 kinds
- of errors. It also suggests changes to improve
- word usage.
-
- While GRAMMATIK-III won't make bad writing good, it does
- make good writing better.
