Hi. Does anybody know whether or not there exist programs to do word prediction (pop a list up of words given a portion of the word) for interactive work on the Amiga?

The SPELL program that comes with Word Perfect dows something like this. It will retrieve words that match a pattern, like AB???CD?? Also, it uses some sort of sound-alike algorithm (SOUNDEX?) so that searching for a word like Guvmint might find government and gloveman. Also, consider using the ARP search command or a grep. There are a couple of PD spell checkers that come with pretty large dictionaries. Both egrep and search offer pretty wild regular expression pattern languages, so you could match just about anything pretty efficiently. lee
