Yes it's true that too many Americans consider spelling checkers to be an adequate substitute for language education. Just the same, if you ship any application that allows text entry, sooner or later you'll receive requests from around the world for a least a modest spelling checker feature. Given the tediousness of compiling useful word lists, it makes sense to at least put this on a Nice To Have a list, or maybe have someone manage an open source version. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Custom Software and Web Development for All Major Platforms Developer of WebMerge 1.9: Publish any Database on Any Site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ improve-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/improve-revolution
