Yeah... Cocoa does offer all that. I could add a user interface. Multi-language support would take a bit more work. I'd need to locate some text files for different languages on the internet, and supply them with a separate download package, or just link to them. Either way these files typically end up being large. One nice way to reduce the size I suppose is to find a smaller file with only more commonly used words. Rare words actually hurt dictionary use by generating silly suggestions. I could do all that you sugested, but it would be some work. If anyone is interested I could do it... as a free download, otherwise I'll just leave the idea. For what it's worth, one of my more industrious users, has already created spell checking using my ElfDataFuzzy class :) > And Marcel has the pleasure of using one of the better hacks ever > done in REALbasic :) _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
