At Denison  University  we  have  updated  our  program  which  checks
spelling.   The  changes include an option to rigorously check the spelling
of a word and an option to interactively  correct  misspelled  words.   The
updated  speller  was  designed  with  a focus on maintaining the program's
efficiency.  As a result, there are a  large  number  of  components,  many
requiring  special  attention.   The  word spelling checker, all the search
algorithms, and some of the support routines were written in VAX-11  MACRO.
The  other routines and programs were written in VAX-11 BASIC.  The program
makes use of features available in  VMS  version  3  and  the  EDT  editor.
Therefore,  this  system will run only on Digital's VAX-11 machines running
under VMS version 3.0 or higher.  This program was originally  released  on
the  Fall,  1981  DECUS  tape.   Any  new  changes  in  the  documentation
file AAAREADME.DOC will be highlighted by an asterisk.
