Topic: V-SPELL (1 of 4), Read 91 times Conf: VEDIT Sales and Info From: John H Date: Tuesday, April 20, 2004 12:31 PM Hi, I've read what the VE6 PDF manual has regarding V-SPELL and wondered if there is any additional information, perhaps the manual available? While the website turns up little V-SPELL info with a search I did find a little from the advertisements gallery. Namely that it's DOS based, stand alone and apparently stagnant. While this isn't a problem for me I would like to point out there is no apparent way to order the product. I would like to read the manual though, to get a complete grasp of how I will need to interact with it both as a user and perhaps with other programs. John

John: I have attached the VS-PROD.ZIP file to an email sent directly to you. Hopefully the file will also be downloadable from this User Forum. If V-SPELL works well for you, please purchase it for $19 by contacting the sales department. Ted.

Topic: Re: V-SPELL (3 of 4), Read 110 times Conf: VEDIT Sales and Info From: John H Date: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 08:39 AM Thanks! Couple questions that I wasn't clear on after reading the manual: - Will long paths/filenames be any factor? - Can a supplemental dictionary be specified during checking? EG: wanting to add to multiple dictionaries - Can cursor keys be used to navigate menus or just space and first letter? - Any variations to command line parms other than none or filename to check? EG: dictionary selection, lookup, single words, etc. IE: I am thinking it could be useful to pass simply a single word for lookup. Sort of a manual context sensitive ability. Quite often I am aware problem words of mine and know a bulk of the spelling otherwise is correct. - Can VS realistically save time with spelling with mostly non-text documents? EG: source code or HTML It sounds like it could be a little cumbersome to switch checking of radically different documents. IE: If a configuration for effective C source has been created there will be 'prep time' in order to switch to a configuration which is effective for HTML. - John

Long filenames will only be supported when running V-SPELL from within VEDIT, because VEDIT can convert long filenames to short filenames when it shells out. >- Can a supplemental dictionary be specified during checking? EG: wanting to add to multiple dictionaries You can specify the supplemental dictionary in the command (shell) line. >- Can cursor keys be used to navigate menus or just space and first letter? Right and left work. >- Any variations to command line parms other than none or filename to check?

Quite often I am aware problem words of mine and know a bulk of the spelling otherwise is correct. Sorry, I don't have quick answers for all this. >- Can VS realistically save time with spelling with mostly non-text documents? EG: source code or HTML I don't find it useful for such, so probably not. >It sounds like it could be a little cumbersome to switch checking of radically different documents. IE: If a configuration for effective C source has been created there will be 'prep time' in order to switch to a configuration which is effective for HTML. Probably correct. Again, sorry, but V-SPELL is unsupported. We will not provide any support or answer any further questions about it. Ted.
