- What are the differences between version 2.2 and version 2.3:
-
- Fix the problem where version 2.2 would not give a good suggestion
- if there was a very minor misspelling (i.e. two letters reversed or
- missing a single letter).
-
- Works better on machines with small amounts of memory, or when
- shelling to MSDOS from a program to use ShareSpell.
-
- Fixed the problem where it would not return you to the directory you
- started in if there where no changes made to the file.
-
- What are the differences between version 2.11 and version 2.2:
-
- Fixed the problem with versions 2.1 and 2.11 not displaying the
- last of the text on lines longer than 78 characters.
-
- Added a better correct word suggestion routine.
-
- Made suggested grammar corrections to the manual.
-
-
- What are the differences between version 2.1 and version 2.11:
-
- There is a minor speed improvement from version 2.1 to 2.11.
- You probably won't even notice it, but it's there.
-
- When selecting a file you can use the HOME key to change to a
- different disk drive.
-
- I fixed the problem that made ShareSpell think it couldn't find the
- dictionary if you tried to edit a backup file. Now it just doesn't
- let you edit them.
-
-
- What are the differences between version 2.0 and version 2.1:
-
- ShareSpell will now handle words longer than 20 characters.
-
- If you enter the file name as parameter at the DOS prompt it no
- longer displays the file name momentarily (it was just an
- annoyance to some people).
-
- Pressing the <RETURN> key will now make it only ignore the current
- occurrence of the word in question. This is the way it should have
- been from the beginning. The <ESC> key is for ignoring the word
- throughout the entire document.
-
- Fixed the problem with ShareSpell capitalizing the 2nd, 3rd and
- so on correction of a corrected word (this was only in some of the
- copies of v2.0).
-
- The start up beg screen has been moved to when you exit the ShareSpell
- for those who use it by shelling out of their text editor. Now it
- will not pause and wait for you to press a key before starting the
- spell check.
-
- The display of the document as it passed by has also been updated.
- Before when you had corrected a word if it occurred later in the
- document the misspelling would be displayed on the screen even
- though the text in the file had been corrected.
-
- The most noticeable change is when you start ShareSpell up without
- a file name on the command line. Instead of asking for a file name
- it displays a list of the files in the directory so that you can
- use the cursor keys to move around and select the file.
-
-
- What are the differences between version 1.6 and version 2.0:
-
- Version 2.0 uses an all new 112,000+ word disk based dictionary.
- DICMAN has been added to the system. It allows you to maintain
- your dictionary. Features include Adding and Deleting words or
- groups of words from the dictionary add large groups of words to
- the dictionary or making a file of all the words that you have added
- to the dictionary and more.
-
-
- What is different from version 1.5 to 1.6:
-
- Version 1.6 now will not molest non-ASCII characters greater than 127.
- So if you use borders and characters graphics in your document ShareSpell
- will leave them alone.
-
- A .BAK file will be made of the file that you spell check. That way if
- you check the spelling of a file and decide that you would rather go
- back to the first unchecked version you can delete the file and rename
- the .BAK file to that of the original's.
-
- You can now use the <F7> key to mark a word you are now sure of for
- later correction. Use of the <F7> key will only place a '@' symbol
- before the word and ignore all other occurrences of it in the document.
-
- The deeper search from version 1.5 has been made the normal search.
-
-
-
- What is different from version 1.4 to 1.5:
-
- Improvement on the handling of apostrophized words again (a.k.a BUG FIX!)
-
- The search for suggested misspellings is MUCH faster now.
-
- <F5> will perform a deeper/longer search for suggested correct spellings
-
- If you use the command line interface (i.e. SS filename) you will be told
- if the file does not exist before going to the opening screen.
-
-
-
- What is different from version 1.3 to 1.4:
-
- Improved handling of APOSTROPHIZED words
-
- You can now place ShareSpell and the dictionary in a subdirectory
- that is in your PATH= command and ShareSpell will finds the dictionary
- and run. No matter what your current subdirectory is.
-
- Pressing <ENTER> to skip the current word will now skip all the OCCURRENCES
- of it in the document, just like the <ESC> ignore command.
-
-
- What is different from version 1.2 to 1.3:
-
- A much larger dictionary - The Dictionary now contains over 51,000 words.
-
- Faster - Suggestions of misspelled words in now 10 times faster than in
- version 1.2. It makes the program much easier to use.
-
- Invoke a command early - You can now press the the RETURN (ignore word)
- key or the ESC (ignore word in document) key
- before it is finished finding all suggestions.
-
- Bug fix - Version 1.2 would put the corrected document in the ShareSpell
- directory with a file name of SS.$$$ if the file you were
- checking was not in the ShareSpell directory. It has been fixed.
-
- Bug fix - Fixed the problem where ShareSpell would mess up the current line
- of the screen if you replaced the last word on the line. It only
- effected the display.
