SuperSpell

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to SuperSpell, the global, real-time spelling checker!
SuperSpell installs an input handler, and runs invisibly in the background.
Anything you type into any window will have its spelling checked. Only words
greater than 4 letters long are checked.
If the word you have just typed is not found in the dictionary, you are
notified, either by a window appearing, or by a screen flash.
USAGE :
SuperSpell <dictionary> [-e] [-r]
<dictionary> - Pathname of dictionary to use
-e - Initially disable SuperSpell
-r - Initially enable the alert window
Note : SuperSpell only runs from the CLI.
The dictionary file is a straight ASCII file, with one word on each line.
Case is not important, but the file **_MUST BE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER_**. You
may edit the supplied dictionary, or create one of your own. Note that this
version of SuperSpell will not handle accented letters, which effectively
rules out using it in anything other than English. Sorry :-)
SuperSpell can be temporarily disabled, but remain in memory. To disable
SuperSpell, press LEFT_SHIFT-CTRL-F1, and again to enable it. SuperSpell can
also be started disabled with the -e flag.
To turn the alert window on and off, press LEFT_SHIFT-CTRL-F2. The alert
window defaults to being off, unless you use the -r flag.
To remove SuperSpell from memory, press LEFT_SHIFT-CTRL-F10.
The supplied dictionary file is very brief, and only contains just over
9000 words. If you intend using the program seriously you will have to find
a much bigger and better dictionary file; there are several available in the
public domain.
