We've been using kl_spell for years (decades) now. Recently, we've been getting some requests for real-time spell checking like all the "real windows" applications have..
Roger, have you or anyone else tried to integrate real-time spell checking from word ( or wordperfect or wordstar

I incorporated ChadoSpell in an app for Bobby Drakos.
There's a sample in \exp19\samples\chado.
There's also another sample under \exp19\samples\activex.

Brian,
I dug out my original MicroPro WordStar disks, but I do not have an 8" Drive to read them since the drives on my Xerow 820 computer died a few years ago. I guess you will need to find another solution. (The WordStar, and CalcStar disks came as a set from a prize package I won at the 1983 Comdex show in Las Vegas.)
Actually, I don't think WordStar version 3.3 had real time spell check.

That's why i don't want to go down the chadospell road.. i'm looking for a more mainline solution, not something that looks like another niche of a niche product.
Terry, i don't think wordstar had real time checking anyway...
Unless real-time is that point in time where you insert the punchcards into the punchcard reader..

Feeling a bit nostalgic this morning, Terry?
I have a SuperCalc disk from 1982. That product was bought by CA.
