The version level is 2.01 and it should uudecode to WINSP201.ZIP. There are 17 parts and I used uuencode (R.M. Version 5.10). I submit it to you for inclusion in the GARBO archive. Currently, I believe you have WINSP105.ZIP. Please remove that version completely and put this one in its place. Below is a short explanation of WinSpell extracted from the README file: ------- Snip Snip -------------------------------------------------------- WinSpell is a Windows based spelling supervisor which can check your spelling three different ways: 1) WinSpell acts in real-time, as you type. While typing, WinSpell will notify you as soon as you misspell a word. 2) WinSpell spell checks files such as Windows Write files and ASCII text files. 3) WinSpell checks the spelling of information copied to the Clipboard. 4) Looks up specific words with wildcard allowed These four modes of WinSpell allow you to check your spelling in virtually any Windows application, including DOS based applications running in a window (via the clipboard), spreadsheets, telecommunication packages, e-mail sessions, etc. ------- Snip Snip -------------------------------------------------------- Tom Hite thite@micrografx.com Thank you Tom.
