[comp.sys.atari.st] Grammatic checker for the ST?

rriesen@hydra.unm.edu (Rolf Riesen) (11/26/90)

	I am looking for a grammatic checker for the atari ST.
Something like Grammatik IV from Reference Software for the
IBM PC would be great. Is there anything similar available for
the ST?

	I am using First Word Plus for my writing and am quite
happy with it, except for the missing thesaurus and grammatic
checker. Any suggestions and comments are welcome. Please reply
by e-mail. Thanks.

There is (or was) a grammar checker demo on atari.archive.umich.edu called
gramslam.lzh.  It may have been nuked when the archive crashed.  If its not
there now I will re-upload it.

I have heard there is something called Gramslam.  I've not been able to locate
it.  Would appreciate anyone else passing on what they know.

GramSlam is the only grammar checker for the ST that I know of.  It's
available from:
                Phil Comeau Software
                43 Rueter Street
                Nepean
                Ontario K2J 3Z9
                Canada.

I am told that it is somewhat similar to Grammatik for the PC.  I cannot
comment on it since I haven't used it; and I SHOULDN'T comment on it
since I know Phil slightly ......
As someone mentioned, there is a demo at atari.archive.
