Vell, here we are in another summer. This is traditionally the time when it slows doun for computer-related businesses. We remember past summers when the doldrums set in and there just wasn’t a lot to talk about.
With the QL, however, there is a lot happening, both old and new. We are using SPELLBOUND now for all our documents and are absolutely amazed at the program. One thing we forgot to mention last issue was the fact that this is really a spelling corrector as well as a spelling checker. Suppose, for example, I begin to spell the word, “suppose” and can’t remember whether it has one or two “p’s”. SPELLBOUND will beep if I only put in one. I then can press the control, shift, and “e” keys together and a list of words appears on the right hand side of the screen, alphabetically beginning with all words that start with “sup” . I press the “f5” key to continue seeing each word. When I see the word “suppose” on the screen and hopefully reme,ber that is the correct way it is spelled, I press the enter key and “suppose” is entered right into the document. This is definitely a nice feature. The only criticism we have of the program is that for some reason when you turn on the capslock key, while you have SPELLBIND activated, it slows down almost to a crawl. Except for that! it is a superb program and one that could easily cost twice as such as its $51.95 retail if it were on on lBM or a Macintosh.
