    From Tiny@618:618/12 to All on Mon Oct 21 20:10:00 2024
    Hi All,

    I just found a program called TinySpell. (No not by me) and
    I just have to say how impressed I am. I installed it and hopped
    into Sempoint (Dosbox-x, windows 3.1) and it's monitoring my
    spelling in real time using the HUN dictionaries which I believe
    are pretty current.

    So... for old shareware that's only $10 I grabbed a license after
    testing for only 10 mins. :)

    Just wanted to share.

    Sounds pretty neat. Is it a Win3.1 program or a dos program?

    Neither. Runs on the host windows system, so in my case Windows
    11. I assume it's 32bit not 64 but I could be mistaken.

    I believe it works like a keyboard monitor as I set up a couple of
    instances of Terminal and Dosbox-x to have it disabled as it was
    telling me all about how cd\ isn't a word. ;)

    I blocked it in my firewall from the internet, but it hasn't tried to
    call home yet for anything other then the first time I installed it
    and asked it to unlock with my reg code.

    For someone like me who has a hard time with spelling, it's like
    I'm using a word processor in real tine and at the end of the day
    it's helping me learn how to spell.
