Hi, does anyone konw of any program(s) that checks the grammer of a document. It should be compatible with most word processing pakages such as Word Perfect, Chi Writer, or Word Star. Any help, info or suggestion would be appreciated. Dave davec@maxwell.concordia.ca davec@davinci.concordia.ca

RE: Grammer checker Gram-mat-tik I believe is the correct spelling. Right Writer is the other one that I know of. I don't have any other information on them but you should be able to find them with the names. Carl Schelin tcs@router.jhuapl.edu

What about Grammatik IV by Reference Software? It handles lots of WP formats and includes spelling and grammar checks. jim =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "The opinions expressed here in no way represent the views of Digital Equipment Corporation."

As far as I know Grammatik IV is fully commercial, and thus not available by binary postings, ftp, mail servers, nor from any selfrespecting BBS, and hence it is outside the customary scope of comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d. (It is a very useful program, but that is already a different story). ...................................................................

While you are at it, you might look for a spelling checker. The word is
grammar. :-)

RightWriter just sent me an upgrade notice that included several tables from two studies. The studies rated the several grammar checkers available for the PC and MAC based on the number of *incorrect* grammar recommendations. RightWriter averaged 13%, the nearest competitor was about 35% and the worst was 85%. I don't know if this is really useful information nor do I know what the original studies concluded about RightWriter, but I sent for the upgrade.
