nextispell Release 0.8, Fri Jan 27 14:28:36 GMT+0100 1995 by Moritz Willers University of Bern Institute for Theoretical Physics Sidlerstr. 5 CH - 3012 Bern Switzerland willers@butp.unibe.ch (NeXTMail, MIME) Availabe at: ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/software/NeXT/sources/util/nextispell-0.8.tar.gz nextispell is a daemon establishing the connection between ispell (by Geoff Kuenning) and the NeXT spell panel. ispell is a very flexible spelling correction program. Provided with a word list and rules ispell checks your text in any language. ispell also has a special tex mode which is very handy for scientists like me. nextispell brings all this strength into the NeXT GUI. You need to have ispell installed, then nextispell may easily be configured and installed. (The spell server invokes ispell and communicates with it via a pipe) nextispell is still worked on. Version 0.8 should however be _the_ version for some time. There is a bug in the NXSpellServer which has to be fixed by NeXT before I release a nextispell 1.0. This may still take till NS 4.0. Thanks to Detlev Droege and Geoff Kuenning for new ideas and thanks to Christoph Hauert for his ever patient help. Not to forget Brian Hill at NeXT for checking out a bug in NS 3.x for me.
