*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** According to CORRECTSTAR 3.3 manual, drive/path names are recognized for locations of dictionaries. However, it will only function if paths are of the form X:fn!! Any type of path, even just specifying root, e.g. d:\main.dct, causes CS to issue an error. Can anyone help? I really don't want all the disctionary files in the root directory. Max S. Robin AT&T Bell Laboratories Whippany, NJ 07981 201-386-6865 email:whuxg!2212msr

Apply this patch: "CorrectStar uses DOS 1.1 filename conventions and cannot find its dictionaries when they are installed in subdirectories. The error message ``Cannot Locate Internal Dct'' is displayed. Make the following patch to eliminate the error message. Enter the text enclosed in quotes. A:>"DEBUG B:CORRSTAR.OVR" <Return> -"E1342" <Return> xxxx:1342 75."7C" <Return> -"W" <Return> Writing XXXX bytes -"Q" <Return> " And just for good measure, here's another WordStar DOS 3.0 patch: "WordStar does not update the file directory display when the logged drive is changed. The following patch will display the correct files on the alternate drive. Enter the text enclosed in quotes.
