Wanted: Grammar checker like AT&T's Writer's Workbench. Hello out there in Apollo land! Does anyone have something like (or unlike) AT&T's Writer's Workbench running on Apollos? One of our professor's dearly wants to improve the quality of the drafts he receives from his graduate students, especially with respect to grammar, but even spelling would help. (Sorry, AEGIS fserr does not count!) I know there are myriad products that could be run on the DOS Coprocessor or Emulator, but "native" AEGIS or DOMAIN/IX mode would be much preferred. Most of the writing is being done in TeX, so Interleaf is not really appropriate, because TeX needs simple ASCII. Also, because TeX commands are pervasive in the documents, the checkers should be extensible / customizable, so commands either be added to the dictionary or ignored altogether. Thanks in advance for all your help. Please mail responses to me and I will summarize to the net. -Chris Christopher E.
