Aspell for Xy4-vDosXy



Paul B.'s recent complaint that the Microlytics UK spell-checker isn't
functional in vDosXy prompted me to look into alternatives. I landed on an
old reliable: the Windows port of Unix's Aspell. There's a plethora of
spelling dictionaries for it, including various flavors of English -- US, UK
and Canadian with and without accents. If you normally spell-check "on the
fly" (current file or DeFined block), the interface is very similar to the
Microlytics one. (Unfortunately, there is no spell-to-file or "batch spell"
mode, as far as I can tell.)

A new U2 routine, ASPL, acts as a Xy4 front-end to Aspell. The frame and
setup instructions are attached.

For your convenience, I've combined the multi-file Aspell documentation into
a single text file, here:

If there's interest in an Aspell front end for Xy3, let me know and I'll put
something together.
