It has been on sale for US $66.00 at Newsbridge Library Clubs for some time. I ordered it (tough I am going to use its expert knowledge base on English grammar and style rather than the spell checking capabilities), but it has not arrived yet. I will be using it with WinWord. -- ======================================================================== Andrzej Bieszczad | Phone: (613) 763-2259 Bell-Northern Research, Ltd. | Fax: (613) 763-3283 Dept. 9G36, P.O.

I've been thinking about sharewaring it, but I would ask first for more beta testers. Any takes? Is this worth my time? Why in the world do I write these things? BTW, I based the lookup on a Splay tree so it tends to be fastest on words you most recently have used while typing. I need the Beta testers for other opinions on speed and operations. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Tom Hite | The views expressed by me | |Manager, Product development | are mine, not necessarily | |CADSI (Computer Aided Design Software Inc. | the views of CADSI. | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

I know nothing about the program, but have seen it advertised by Comp USA (formerly SoftWarehouse) a number of times. This is NOT a plug for CompUSA. Their ads contain the only mention of Spell for Windows that I've encountered.
