The program has a copyright  1995 

I hope the following information is of some use;

I downloaded Spell 3.0 for Edit Boxes with the permission of the Author 

To get the latest version of Spell30 read spell.hlp.

I zipped Spell30 using Winzip 6.0 for Windows95, Spell30.zip has a sub directory in the zip file so to unzip if you are not using Winzip you need to set the relevant switches.

I forgot when I downloaded Spell30.zip, that the copy I zipped up I had original been installed from a Magazine Cover CD.

I don't know if the program does the following or the magazine install program did it. either way for the program to run at start up of Windows the following information has to be in System.ini:
Example:
This is copied from  system.ini

[boot]
drivers=mmsystem.dll C:\SPELL30\SPELLEDT.DLL


The switches I use to call the spell checker are Ctrl + Alt + F12

You can create program groups for the *.exe files and help files

	useng.scd	-  US English dictionary

I have used the program for about 4 weeks now with no problem, some of the programs I have used it with are;

Access 2.0 design and normal
WinCim and Navigator
Notepad
Wordpad (Write)
Visual Basic 4.0 Pro ( Code Window and Properties box )

The only problem I had when I tried to use it in an Excel 5.0 Module
is that Ctrl +Alt + F12 is linked to some other command in Excel so to get around the problem you have to specify some other short cut keys.

The program has become indispensable in my working environment.

If you incorporate the Spell checker in your program the Author would appreciate if possible a copy of the code for his Help File.
