RE: [U2] Spell-checker?
Many *nixes actually distribute vim and make vi a link to it, running in vi compatibility mode. :) 'which vim' or 'whereis vim' at a unix shell prompt should tell you if that's the case. If so, getting the latest version (6.4) will let you use all the features (short of version 7, which is still in beta). If not, you can still download (g)vim somewhere where it won't interfere with vi. -Keith Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Oaks, Harold Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2005 4:34 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] Spell-checker?

I wrote one many years ago that took advantage of a file named WORDS we had hanging around. I think it originally came from a green-screen word processor we had back in the Ultimate days (Jet?). It's just a file filled with IDs for every word in the dictionary. I select it with the built-in soundex function and give the user a list of potential spellings to choose from: EXECUTE 'SSELECT WORDS SAID ':WORD:' WITH NO F1', OUT DUM, SELECT LIST1 WORD.ARR = '' LOOP READNEXT WORD.ID FROM LIST1 ELSE EXIT WORD.ARR-1 = WORD.ID REPEAT This works reasonably well. -John -- John Hester System Network Administrator Momentum Group Inc.
