    ------------------------------------------------------------------

      vendor.doc         1,733     vendor information
    ------------------------------------------------------------------

   In order to be able to run JSPELL (and DICTMAN) in any directory,
   either add C:\JSPELL to your PATH or put two batch files
   JSPELL.BAT and DICTMAN.BAT into one of your directories in PATH.
   The content of the batch files jspell.bat and dictman.bat should
   look like

   @echo off
   C:\JSPELL\jspell.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

   and

   @echo off
   C:\JSPELL\dictman.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

   respectively.

   The default configuration of JSPELL is set to VGA and AT-keyboard.
   Also we assume that you work under the plain-vanilla DOS
   environment. If your computer's configuration and/or environment
   is different from this, then you will need to read (Section I.4)
   of the documentation file manual.doc.

   If you are going to run JSPELL under a networked environment,
   then please read (Appendix A.) of manual.doc to complete the
   installation.

   In order to print out the documentation file manual.doc, your
   printer must be able to handle the IBM graphic characters
   correctly.

   unmodified in its entirety to others who are interested in evaluating
   the software.  You may use any file compressor/archiver (e.g, zip,

   modify, alter, reverse engineer this software in any ways. Registered
   copies of JSPELL are not to be copied or distributed except as
   provided for in the next paragraph.  Sysops of BBS, computer-related

  Recent changes

  Version 2.01:  (Nov.16, 1993)

    Bug fix: couldn't spell-check files in a different drive


  Version 2.02:  (Nov.30, 1993)

    Bug fix:
       (i)  [BaseDic][Count] in dictman didn't work for the
            input `*'.
       (ii) A minor bug in [UserDic][Read] in dictman (for very
            large files)


  Version 2.02c:  (Jan.12, 1994)

    Bug fix: A long session of JSPELL (several hundred user actions)
        could hang the computer if the input file and the user
        dictionary are very large.

    Added features:
       (i) When the edit row is highlighted, the <space> key works
           as the [Ignore] command key only if the cursor is at the
           right end.  (So, Shift-<space> is no longer necessary.)
       (ii) Shows the percentage of work done at the lower right corner.
       (iii) ESC is no longer the [Ignore] command key even when the
           edit row is blank.


   Version 2.03:  (Feb.22, 1994)

    Member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (Feb.21, 1994)

    Branding: JSPELL.EXE for shareware version and the registered
        version are now identical.  Registration is done by placing
        a file JSPELL.REG, an ASCII file consisting of three lines:
        registered name, registration number and the code.  This makes
        the low updating fee possible.  (See Appendix B.Q5 of
        MANUAL.DOC.)

    Bug fix: Shift-<space> inserts a space even when the cursor is at
        the right end of the word being edited.


   Version 2.04: (Jun.7, 1994)

     Bug fix: Alt-Shift-A, Alt-Shift-T didn't work at all.  Undoing
        [Add to user.dic] and [add To file.dic] didn't work
        occasionally.
