Re: not enough memory for spellcheck in XY4

["Paul Breeze" paul.breeze@xxxxxxxx]

Dear Carl

Thanks for the reply. However enabling Expanded memory and adding the /E
switch makes no difference. I still get a message saying insufficient
memory to run the spell check. Also wf=1 is already set in SETTINGS.DFL.
Is there something that can override it?

Nathan, of course is right about detailing the system. I run win98SE with
128M of RAM. Currently using xy3.57. XY4 is version 4.018.
