Sat 20-Apr-91: I have released /pc/ts/tschek12.arc, an update of my
spell.exe spelling checker which lists the those words of your ascii
text file which it cannot find in the user's own (or the
accompanying) dictionary.
Michael Sanders (thanks for the feedback Michael) pointed out to
me that there was a bug in spell's ability to take piped input. This
has been remedied. Now you will be able to use the following kind
of piped calls of spell:
type YourText | spell spelled3.dny con /b > YourOutputFile
Tip: You can use spell also for instant checking of your spelling.
For example use
spell spelled3.dny con
recomend
recommend
^Z
The suspect word(s) will be listed.
Other improvements:
- Added new words to the accompanying dictionary.
- Included a new option (switch /f) for counting the frequency of
each "offending" word.
- The number of words checked is given (unless the /b switch is on).
The wares are available by anonymous ftp from garbo.uwasa.fi, Vaasa,
Finland, 128.214.12.37, or by using our mail server (use the latter
if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp). If you are not
familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared to send
prerecorded instructions on request. (If you don't get the
instructions from me within a few days, it will mean that your email
address cannot be reached by a simple email reply. It that case,
contact your system manager for devicing a proper mail path for you,
because unless you do, you wouldn't be able to utilize the mail
server anyway. If you are in North America first consider using an
ftp site near you to spare the overseas load.)
