Hello, Robert!
>>> Wait a second! I've got a great idea! ...
>>> The spelling should be correct, but ...
CRDSUE> Even as a native English speaker I frequently make spelling
CRDSUE> (& mistyping) mistakes, so I am guessing you used a spelling
CRDSUE> checker.
Actually, no, I didn't. That's how my mind works: my eye "trips
over" any misspelling as I read, as if it is trying to figure out
the meaning of the "new word". I simply re-read until no mistakes
are found. Although in the previous Quick-Start document one mistake
was caught by my mailing program ("The Bat!"). It has English
spelling checker built-in.
CRDSUE> Did you do this within BlackBox, or copy the text to something
CRDSUE> else like Word or OpenOffice?
CRDSUE> Some time ago I published a BlackBox spelling checker (written
CRDSUE> by Oms actually!) on CPC. Its interface is so minimal/primitive to
CRDSUE> be almost useless. It also requires Excel to be installed (which I
CRDSUE> don't have at home).
CRDSUE> But I was thinking that Thunderbird (the email client) has a large
CRDSUE> repertoire of dictionaries, and is open source. Hence it should be
CRDSUE> possible (easy ???) to integrate them into BlackBox.
CRDSUE> Does anyone have the knowledge/interest to consider such a tool,
CRDSUE> or to suggest an alternative?
We may borrow the hunspell, the OpenOffice spelling checker
(previously known as MySpell). AFAIK, Thunderbird, Mozilla Firefox
and many others use that same component.
