- WinSpell is a Windows spelling supervisor which can check your
- spelling three different ways.
-
- 1) WinSpell acts in real-time, as you type. While typing,
- WinSpell will notify you as soon as you misspell a word.
-
- 2) WinSpell spell checks files such as Windows Write files and ASCII
- text files.
-
- 3) WinSpell checks the spelling of information copied to the
- Clipboard.
-
- These three modes of WinSpell allow you to check your spelling in
- virtually any Windows application, including DOS based applications
- running in a window, spreadsheets, telecommunication packages, etc.

- Microsoft DOS Version 5.0:

- If these are not met exactly, or you would prefer to receive an
- evaluation (ungregistered) copy directly from R&TH Inc., feel free to
- call us at:
-
- (319) 362-6242 or (319) 338-0477
-
- for a valid evaluation diskette. In addition, RT&H Inc. would
- like to know of invalid evaluation copies in circulation.
-
- WinSpell is ShareWare and as such, you have certain obligations to
- register WinSpell if you use it past the initial evaluation period.
- See the documentation in WINSPELL.WRI or WINSPELL.DOC for details on
- license information.
-
- In order to install this evaluation version:
-
- 1) Expand the (compressed) archive file:
-
- pkunzip winspell
-
- 2) Run the Installation script (batch file) from floppy:
-
- install [drive:]path
-
- where drive represents the hard disk on which WinSpell should
- be installed and path represents the directory in which WinSpell
- should be placed.
-
- Note that if you expand the archive file to your hard disk, your
- installation is essentially complete. You need not run the
- INSTALL.BAT script. Simply add the directory in which you
- placed WinSpell to your DOS PATH. See your DOS manual for details
- on the PATH environmental variable.
-
- 3) Follow remaining instructions as specified by the installation
- script.
-
- The following is an explanation for each file:

-
- One note; a minor bug has been identified in the demonstration version of
- WinSpell which causes a (completely harmless) error message which informs
- you that there has been a file read error if you type a word that is not
- in the common dictionary during a file or Clipboard check. This bug does
- not exist in the registered version of WinSpell. What the error message
- tells you is that the word is not spelled correctly as far as the common
- dictionary is concerned. You will need to check that word later after
- the file or clipboard check is complete.
