*********************************************************************
Grammarian is a program designed to look at text files and check
for word usage, spelling problems, and some grammatical rules.
Grammarian may not be right in everything it finds but it does
present some good reminders.
Use of Grammarian is simple. Place 'GRAMMAR.PRG' and 'GRAMMAR.INF'
in the same path. Run 'GRAMMAR.PRG' in medium or high resolution and
load the file you wish to check via the file selector. If Grammarian
finds anything of interest in the file, the program will stop and
display some text about the possible problem encountered. To continue
with the check, press any key or click the mouse. You may also exit
Grammarian at any point by pressing 'ESCAPE'.
With a standard text editor or word processor that loads and
saves in ASCII format you can edit or delete the grammatical checks.
The format of the 'GRAMMAR.INF' file is as follows:
FIRST LINE - will be displayed when any grammatical error is
found.
ANY LINE BEGINNING WITH '>' - indicates a word or group of words
to check for within your document. Spaces may be appropriate to
narrow the search field. i.e. If you are wanting to find 'its' and
you entered a line in 'GRAMMAR.INF' of '>its', Grammarian would
give you a warning at 'zits', 'itself', 'bitset', etc. To narrow
the search, enter in 'GRAMMAR.INF' of '> its '.
TEXT LINES - these lines describe the grammatical error
encountered and are displayed on the screen. View the
'GRAMMAR.INF' file for a complete understanding of how the file
is constructed.
