subject:"Spell Checker"

Hello Henk,

 BTW, when you say it doesn't work, does it mean that it doesn't mark 
 any words as misspelled?

 Hello Miguel,

 I hope you don't mind stepping into this thread but this is exactly what
 happens on my side when I upgrade from this version. As well for the rar
 as for the msi versions.

Why should I mind? Not at all. I assume it happens no matter if you do 
'Automatic checking ', 'Check entire text' or 'Check before send', 
correct?

Re: 4.0.14.2 Spell Checker Issues

Hello Ian,

 BTW, when you say it doesn't work, does it mean that it doesn't mark 
 any words as misspelled?

 It doesn't work means it just ignores some misspelled words i.e Thiought is
 ignored.

You see, this is why I think it is important to 'define' what 'doesn't
work' means and why I insist on it. I have just replied to Henk M. de
Bruijn and, in his case and pending further clarification, it seems that
that 'text is not being checked at all' (like if there was no speller),
while in your case you say that just ignores some words which, to me,
means that the speller _is_ running but it 'makes some mistakes'.
  
 I checked the word list in the dictionary and it is not there so there
 is no reason why it should not flag it. As far as the registry export is
 concerned, I don't see  anywhere to attach either this file or the jpeg of my
 options for you, but I do have them both if you need to see them

Now, here is something I don't understand. If you followed my 
instructions, as you said yesterday, I assume you only have the 
American English (SSCE) which is installed by default are testing with 
it, confirm? If so, where and how did you check the word list in the 
dictionary? Because the Ssceam2.clx dictionary is not a text file, 
the Ssceam.tlx is is.

 I have this exact problem as well.  Using tinySpell here.

But that is a completely different story my friend. TB 'officially'
supports three different spelling engines now and 'tinySpell' (of which
I had never heard about before, BTW) is an application, external to TB,
that _claims_ that Checks spelling in /any/ Windows application. 
Well, here is one that 'apparently' it doesn't work with, the new 
Editor in v4 of TB. So, even if it worked with previous versions of TB 
(its editor), I don't think it fair to 'blame' TB for not working.

As I said, I had never before heard about tinySpell. I have been to 
their website and this is the first you can read there:

4.0.14.2: Spell checker not working. I have seen it happen!

Hello all,

Yes, I have. I was writing my second reply to Maggie Meister when I
realised the spell checker wasn't working. To be coherent, I should be
a little more specific and explain what I mean by not working,
shouldn't I? ;)

My facts and what I observed was:

- I normally use 'Automatic checking' with CSAPI British English.

- While writing to Maggie I made an outstanding typo and noticed no red
underline, it wasn't detected as misspelled.

- I visually checked what I had already written and found a few other 
typos not flagged as misspelled either.

- I double checked to see if I had 'Automatic check' selected as, due 
to testing and the fact that menu icon may be a bit misleading because 
it includes the red checkmark, I would not be the first time I had it 
not selected. But it was. So, hey! My spell checker wasn't working!

- I then tried Check entire text (F4) and, to my surprise, this would 
find every single word as misspelled (actually as 'Not in dictionary' 
in the Spell checking dialog) but it did not offer any suggestions for 
replacement, the 'Change to' and 'Suggestions' were completely blank. I 
also noticed that 'Add words to' dropdown was also black when it usually 
shows my CSAPI user dictionary for British English.

- A problem with CSAPI perhaps?

- I switch to SSCE American English only with same results. No 
misspelled words if 'Automatic checking' and also exactly same results  
if 'Checking entire text'. And this was with SSCE now. H!

- I closed the editor and opened a new window with same results. I did 
try this several times and... spell checker not working ;)

- Finally, I re-started TB and everything is back to normal. So, go 
figure!

The one thing that may be important to highlight to Rit guys is that 
both CSAPI and SSCE suddenly ceased to work, which may point out to 
something common to both engines.

Quite obviously, if I see it happen again, I will try to figure out 
what was I exactly doing to see if I can repeat it at will.

I have discovered that this behavior is different depending on which mode is

What I have now found is if you choose Plain Text (Windows) or switch among the 
editor styles, then ALL the words are red-underlined. 

Also, the spell checker must be reactivated every time.

I have not seen such ridiculous behavior in TB! and that is since 1.62r. I'm

is good to bounce these ideas around as it causes me to think more about what I

Issues:
mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]


 So, let's all be a 
 little more rigorous when testing and precise when reporting.
Totally agree.

for me  --

 Hunspell only (SSCE5532 extn renamed from dll to make it
inoperative) then spell checking works in every way, no problems

Hunspell disabled (extn renamed from dll)  and SSCE5532.dll only
words with a combination of numeric and alpha are underlined, all
other words (right or wrongly spelled) are ignored (no underlining if
wrong spelling).
Options all left blank.  Dictionary - EnglishBR
changing options has no effect except for the ignore words with
numeric which does correctly ignore them.

Other speller not an option for me.  (does not exist)

My conclusion from this is that SSCE5532.dll is effective since it finds
numeric/alpha errors and reacts when option to ignore this is
selected.
My best guess is that during initialisation process settings are being 
corrupted.
What causes this in just a few systems is the hard bit.
Maybe some other programs are corrupting these
settings assuming they are held in the registry.

I do accept resolving this is difficult unless you have a system with this error
but I cannot believe it is due to the normal installation process as that is
under the control of the msi installer.

I am happy with Hunspell but there is a genuine problem to be sorted.

Best regards,
 Graham

Hello Ian,

 I have just followed your instructions and found that the spell-checker still
 does not work.

OK, if you did (i.e uninstalled, deleted registry key, etc., and did a 
Custom install with only Core), let's try to pin it down a bit more.

Please export your HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT key, rename it as .txt
(to avoid the risk of some one double clicking on it) and either post it
here or send it to me by PM so I can compare it with mine to see if
there any differences that could be significant?

A screen capture of of Spell Checker Options dialog would also help.

As I said in a reply to Graham in this same thread, no one can assure 
there is nothing wrong with the SSCE engine. But the fact that it works 
for most makes it more difficult to find why it fails for some, 
specially if developers can't reproduce the failure.

BTW, when you say it doesn't work, does it mean that it doesn't mark 
any words as misspelled?

Re: 4.0.14.2 Spell Checker Issues

Hello Ian,

snipped quite a bit

 One thing I did try was to install an earlier version of The Bat!, 
 but I could not. When I start after the installation confirms I have 
 installed the earlier version, the splash screen and Help|About both 
 still show 4.0.14.2. Then checking Add or Remove Programs sees two 
 offending entries there.

Be patient for a few minutes, I'm looking at all dirs and registry 
attachments sent yesterday and will be suggesting what to do after I 
have breakfast.

Re: 4.0.14.2 Spell Checker Issues

Hello Ian,

 I have attached a folder listing of the The Bat! program folder.

M Can you attach (or send by PM) the listing of Speller and Dictionaries
M directories?

M Also, can you export and attach this Registry key?

M HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT\SpellCheck

 Here are the files.

OK, here I am. I'll try to respond to your different issues in this and 
other threads.

First of all I must say that I didn't find anything that I can say *is 
wrong*. Specially in regards to dictionaries, your registry entries do 
match the dictionaries you have in the Speller directory.

However, there are a number of things that make me wonder how you have 
been doing upgrades along the years. For example:

  - In Speller directory I see dictionaries with dates as old as 1996
  and then for many different years up to 2008. While all of mine (from
  the last IntPack) are dated 29/08/2007, except the user ones which 
  may have been updated by the program (my userdic.tlx is dated 
  11/02/2008).
  
  - Your 'readme.txt' file (which contains the list of changes since the
  very first release and which hardly anybody reads, BTW) in The Bat!
  directory is dated 14/10/2007 while, if you had installed 4.0.14
  correctly is should be dated 06/02/2008 or so. Have you had a look
  at it? If so, its contents should start with:
  
  ,- [  ]
  | The Bat!
  | Copyright (C) 1997-2008 RITLABS S.R.L.
  | Version 4.0
  | 
  | What's new in The Bat! 4.0 (comparing to v3.99.25)?
  `-
  
  Also, your 'licence_pro.rtf' file should have the same date.
   
Now, before telling you what I would suggest you do now, I'll tell you 
how I go about upgrades to newer versions and, specially, about Beta 
versions.

Look at my program dir attached and notice the dates. I always try to 
keep it 'as clean' as possible. What I do is:

  - For new versions with an MSI installation file, I do a Custom 
  install and only install the Core files (no languages or 
  dictionaries). This way I have the UI in English, the only one I use, 
  and only the AM (SSCE American English) dictionary, which is installed 
  by default along with 'accent.tlx', 'correct.tlx' and 'UserDic.TLX' 
  user dictionaries.
  
  - If, for testing or any other reason, I want to install dictionaries 
  for other language(s) I 'install' the latest International pack in a 
  *temp* directory and from there I copy the desired language 
  dictionaries to the Speller directory. The next time TB is executed 
  will create the corresponding Registry entries. Similarly if I want 
  to remove a language I don't use.
  
  - For Beta versions from *.rar files, I extract then to a temp dir,
  rename them to include the version number, *copy* them to the TB
  directory and then create a shortcut in my desktop. You can see this 
  in attachment. This way I can easily switch versions for testing, and 
  always have the last 'release' version (thebat.exe) available without 
  needing to reinstall it.
  
  - You will also notice that I have a 'Disabled' directory. This is 
  where I Move anything I want to remove from The Bat! directory before 
  actually deleting (even to the recycle bin).
  
Now, what I would do if I was you is:

  - First of all make a back up copy of your complete MAIL directory. 
  Not a backup with TB, copy the whole tree somewhere else or ZIP it up.
  
  - Make a copy of of your 'user' dictionaries in Speller if you have 
  added any words to them.
  
  - In another thread you say that your 'Add or Remove programs' in your
  Control Panel shows two different installations (3.99.29 and 4.0.14),
  which also makes me wonder how you have gone about upgrades.
  
 - Try to uninstall 4.0.14 using the 'Uninstall' option. This should
 remove program files only, but not used data (messages, address
 books, configurations files).
 
 - Then, if v3.99.29 still shows in 'Add Remove programs' try to
 uninstall it also. If it doesn't work or gives you some error and
 it isn't removed from 'Add Remove programs', try the 'Windows
 Installer CleanUp Utility' suggested in
 mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 - If your 'The Bat' directory is still there and it is not 
 completely 'clean', delete it.
 
 - Although I don't think it is absolutely necessary, delete your
 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT key. You may want to export it and 
 save it for a 'just in case' of for 'reference'.
 
Finally, I would suggest a new installation of 4.0.14 (if you haven't, 
download download the MSI for pro AND the International Pack.

  - Do a 'Custom' installation as I explain above and only install 
  Core. This will give you the English GUI and the American English 
  dictionary to test if the speller (SSCE engine) works.
  
  - During installation, select the home mail directory to where ever 
  you have it.
  
  - If asked to create an account, do so with a name you haven't used 
  before. You can delete it afterwards.
  
  - Once installed, open

I do hope this uncovers something but I do have to say that the dates
of files are much the same in my dir and these were loaded direct
from the TB pro msi. I have tried using just the BR ones and same
result so I think the cause is not in these files.

I am still of the opinion that there is something wrong in the SSCE
engine.  Reason, when I only use SSCE and make sure Hunspell is not
there the spell checker finds words containg numeric.  So, 44ffg is
found as is ffg66 but ffg is seemingly correct!  This indicates to me
that SSCE engine is processing the words but for some reason
internally not correctly.

It is a frustrating mystery but hopefully in time the reason will be
found, I do hope so.

Please don't think I am attacking your analysis, it is because of you
I have a working Hunspell and happy with that.

Re updating, I am very new to TB and so have only had the last
version of v3 and have updated with v4 as it came along and betas.  The update
process is what I do for all programs so if there is a quirk in this
then TB had better sort it for new sales.

What seems very strange is I see reports of SSCE giving problems
with capitalisation yet for me I cannot reproduce this but it is with
numeric combinations.

I have also seen others complain about the 'spelling' saga but if it
doesn't work then it needs to be kept prominent so that eventually it
gets attention from the TB programming team.

I have tried almost every thing you have suggested and but for
manually modifying the registry,which I do not have the skills or
understanding to do, though I do use a very good registry clean
program (Ace utilities) to correct obvious registry errors.
Possibly, this could be a cause but I suspect others do not use this.

Your help is much appreciated, believe me,

TB! uses SSCE5532.dll in the TB! directory for access to the
dictionaires. So, if you move it somewhere else, TB!'s spellchecker
cannot confirm any word is correct.

SSCE5132.dll is the dll that TB! used before. If is not used any more
now. So it doesn't matter whether it's in the TB! directory or not.

IAW What would happen if I was to simply rename the The Bat! folder

IAW Would this give me a clean install?

No, you would have to delete the registry key first. Before you do
that, export it and keep it with your backup of the TB! directory.

IAW Would I have to locate my registration keys?

Yes. I have parked the message with the registration key. Now is the
time to export it and keep it with your backup. Once you have made the

Re: How-To get the 3 spell checker engines to work - Part 4 (Hunspell)

Hello Graham,

 And that's all. As I said in my first message, if this helps at least
 one of you, I'll be happy :)

 Thank you for describing what is required to get spelling to work.

 Despite all your efforts I cannot get it to work.

That's strange.


 In line with your advice I can confirm I have all the files you
 mention for SSCE and english (BR) selected.

Again, strange. What options do you have ticked for the SSCE engine?


 Following your instructions I added Hunspell (dll was already there
 but added other files)

Why did you do that? Did you somehow 'disabled' SCCE first? Otherwise, 
you are just adding more variables to your 'problematic environment.

What 'other files' you added?. Just the  dictionaries for BR?

 I use MS Word 2007 and so no CSAPI  - maybe this is the problem?

No, the fact that CSAPI is not available should be no problem for SSCE 
to work as it should.


 OK, all appears correctly set up but it refuses to work

   frunt lok  (these have no effect as being mis-spelled)
 99ggg 444ggg (these are underlined in red but only for numeric followed by 
 alpha)

 Spell cjhecking is a must for me and I am deserate for a solution, I
 should add that untill V4 (all versions) it did work

I have copypasted your four lines above in my editor window and all 
misspelled words are flagged correctly. And I have tested, ONE AT A 
TIME, with the three engines.

 Anymore ideas, help!

Not at the moment. I would anyway suggest trying an engine at a time. 
And I would try to get the SCCE one to work first. Hunspell seems to 
work fine too, it is the dictionaries that may make a difference. In my 
case, I tested the Spanish one and it is quite poor.

How-To get the 3 spell checker engines to work - Part 1

Hello all,

Although Spell Checker is working for most of us, everyday I see that
one or more of the three engines (SSCE, CSAPI and Hunspell) is not
working for some.

The SSCE engine is the one that has always been included with TB and
the SSCE languages (dictionaries) in the Pro version and International
Pack.

TB has always (or at least since a long time ago) supported CSAPI spell
checker and languages from MS Office 97. My understanding is that only
Office 97 engine and dictionaries can be used, but I am not 100% sure
about this.

Now, the latest release (actually since 4.0.0.17 ALPHA) also supports
the Hunspell engines and dictionaries and the fact that you can select
and use two or more languages simultaneously, and from any of the three
engines (See All_DICs.png)

One important thing to understand and remember is that you do not
select 'dictionaries' for spell checking, you select 'languages'. And
that if there are dictionaries for that language from different
engines, they will all be used. In this case, the rule is: as soon as a
word is found correct by one of the dictionaries, it is considered
correct (even if another dictionary wouldn't consider it as correct).

Because of this is why I made a comparison of the Spanish and Britis
English dictionaries for the three engines.

You nay have seen my mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] in
which I compared the Spanish dictionary of the three languages. That
obviously meant that I had the three engines running.

Currently I have four languages installed:

America English (SSCE)
British English (SSCE)
Spanish (CSAPI)
Italian (Hunspell)

As you can see in All_Dics.png I can even select and use them
simultaneously, and they do work.

But to prove that the three engines work and they all find misspelled
words and suggest corrections, I have also attached a screen shot of
each. You can see the language being used in the status bar and the
suggestions for a misspelled (in that language) word.

Mainly because of the limitation in the size of attachments that can be
sent to the list, and perhaps for the sake of clarity, I will follow up
with three more messages (parts 2 to 4) explaining my set-up for each
of the engines.

If this and following messages helps just one of you to get your spell
checking to work, I'll be happy :)

How-To get the 3 spell checker engines to work - Part 2 (SSCE)

Hello all,

I'll try to be brief and clear.

The SSCE engine (SSCE5532.dll) is installed with TB

I have TB installed in: C:\Program Files\The Bat!

And the dictionaries in: C:\Program Files\The Bat!\Speller

They MUST be in your ...\The Bat!\Speller

This Speller directory MUST include these three files:

  userdic.tlx
  accent.tlx
  correct.tlx

and then a pair of .clx and .tlx files for each language you want to 
use.

I have these for American English: 
  Ssceam2.clx
  Ssceam.tlx

and these for Britsh English:
  sscebr12.clx
  SSCEBR.tlx
  
And you can see my options (Spell Checker/Options) for SCCE in attached
PNG.

You will also see in this png that there is a tab for each of the
engines installed. If one is missing is because it is not installed (or
properly so) and TB doesn't see it.

I have seen some confusion about these dialog and tabs. The tabs are 
NOT to select the engine to be used for spelling, you select languages. 
The dialog and tabs are just to set the options for the engines 
installed.

How-To get the 3 spell checker engines to work - Part 3 (CSAPI)

Hello all,

You do not need to install anything in any of TB directories. As far as 
I know, if you have MS Office 97 installed (at least Word) the CSAPI 
engine and dictionaries will be installed and TB will see them and 
make them available to you.

I don't have MS Office 97 currently installed, I have Office XP. But I 
kept a copy of the engine and dictionaries I wanted to use and 
installed then manually.

I copied 'MSSP232.DLL' (the engine) and 'mssp2_es.lex' (the Spanish 
dictionary) to this directory:

  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof
  
and then I entered (imported) the registry keys that you can see in 
'Spelling_XP_en_C.reg.txt' attached.

I am also including a screen grab of my options for CSAPI.

And that is all. Anyway, I am including the 'Setup instructions' that I 
sent by PM to someone in this list and he got it working.

1.- Open 'Spelling_XP_en_C.reg' in Notepad.

2.- Carefully look at file patths in Registry entries. You may have to
change Drive letter and translate directory names like:

   Archivos de programa (Program Files)
   Archivos comunes (Common Files)
   
3.- Now place dictionaries and engine (dll) in the directories indicated
