Re: Spelling Dictionaries for XyWrite 3.57

" Until you find any, you could jerry-rig a primitive one.
" Just spellcheck jobs and use lists of correct words as
" new dictionaries. I've done it for German, Danish, and Norwegian,
" and it works surprisingly well for me. A 100 page file (if the
" subject is familiar) leaves me with 20 words or so, most them
" typos.
"
" I'm sorry if that was too obvious to mention. (I am new here.)

 	No, not obvious. What do you mean spellcheck jobs?
	I think, don't have The book here, that you can
	rename any file to xxx.spl and use that as a
	spellchecker, but wouldn't the English root leave
	some wrong foreign words in "correct" English?

	I wonder how the famed dirty book writer, Ed Cray,
	found the Xy spell check? But then most of the songs
	in his books use euphemisms, often 'stet' or leave
	"misspelled"..
