                             FAULT FINDER (AltZ)

    You may check your spelling in any file currently active in PC-TYPE+
    by pressing AltZ (remember the mnemonic "a through z"), (or, F8-F6).
    When you do this, PC-TYPE+ will begin checking your spelling at the
    first word past the current cursor position toward the end of the
    file.  If you press the Esc key, the checking will stop.

    When a sequence of letters is found which does not appear in the
    dictionary of approximately 100,000 words, a message will be displayed
    on the message line and the cursor will be on the beginning of the
    string of characters in which the sequence of letters could not be
    found.  If it is okay, just press AltZ again and it will continue.
    If it is not okay, correct the spelling and press AltZ to continue.

    If you press CtrlZ where a mismatch occurred, PC-TYPE+ will add that
    word to a special file which you can incorporate into the dictionary
    later.
                              Press the PgDn Key


                    CHECKING THE SPELLING OF JUST ONE WORD


    If you are in doubt about the spelling of a particular word, you may
    place the cursor on the first letter of the word to check and press
    Ctrl O (O for One word, not zero).  Fault Finder will check this one
    word against the list of words in its dictionary and let you know if
    it found a match or not.

    For this option to find the word, your cursor must be on the first
    letter of the word, and the word must not be split at a hyphen,
    e.g., "cre-" on one line and "ate" on the next.

    With normal operation of Fault Finder, the hyphenated words will be
    checked correctly.


                              Press the PgDn Key

                                 DOUBLE WORDS

    Fault Finder will also find any repeated words, such as "the the", and
    place the cursor on the beginning of the second word in the repeat
    sequence.  If you are typing a letter about Walla Walla, Washington,
    however, you might like to override this feature.

    When the message is displayed pertaining to the double words, press
    CtrlZ instead of AltZ.  "Walla" will then be added to the short
    internal list of words and "Walla Walla" will be skipped from that
    point on.

                               PCTYPE.ADD File

    Whenever you press CtrlZ, the word under the cursor will be added to
    the file PCTYPE.ADD which you can merge into the master dictionary at
    a later time.  Fault Finder does not read PCTYPE.ADD.

                              Press the PgDn Key

                      DEFINING a PATH to the DICTIONARY

    There are 5 support files to Fault Finder:

    PCTYPE.DIC      - the Dictionary itself
    PCTYPE.ADD      - the file of words to add to the dictionary
    PCMERG.EXE      - the program to merge PCTYPE.ADD into PCTYPE.DIC
     SPCHK.OVL      - the Fault Finder logic
     MMERG.OVL      - replacement logic

    These files MUST be in the same directory, wherever it is.  We
    STRONGLY recommend that you place these files in a directory of their
    own.  We default to the directory \pct_dic on your A drive.

    If PC-TYPE+ cannot find these files when you press AltZ, you will be
    asked to provide the correct path.  You may set this path as a default
    by pressing F8-F2 so you won't have to keep answering this question.

                              Press the PgDn Key

                         FAULT FINDER MATCHING LOGIC

    The following rules are applied to the word matching process:

    (1) All single letters are accepted.

    (2) " 's " is dropped from the end of any word where these two
        characters are found.

    (3) Any non-alpha character is treated as a space.  Hence,
        "right-handed" would be checked as "right" and as "handed".

    (4) Any word to be checked MUST be within the currently defined
        margins of PC-TYPE+.

    (5) Words ending with "- " are assumed to be hyphenated.  The next
        word after the "-" will be appended if both halves do not check
        independently.
                              Press the PgDn Key

                           FAULT FINDER and MARGINS

    Fault Finder will only check those words which are within the margins
    specified.  Thus, if you have two columns of information, as below,

    you can set the margins to        some of your text in this manner.
    the the edges of both col-   <-   If a word straddles a margin, it

    very useful if you organize

    A hyphenated word at the end of such a column (as shown by the "<-"s),
    will be treated properly if the margins are set to the left and right
    extremes of the column.



                              Press the PgDn Key

                                 PCMERGE.EXE

    You may add any number of words to the PCTYPE.DIC dictionary file.
    To do so, you run PCMERGE.EXE which should be with your PCTYPE.DIC
    file.

    Every time you press CtrlZ, the word you are on is added to the file
    PCTYPE.ADD, preceded by the letter "a" for ADD.  You may edit this
    file with PC-TYPE+ and add additional words if you wish, or delete
    words by inserting a line such as (one word per line):

                d finished

    which would remove the word "finished" from the dictionary.  To run
    PCMERGE, YOU MUST BE IN THE DIRECTORY where all these files are
    located.  When PCTYPE.ADD is as you want it, just type PCMERGE.
    (Duplicate words will be processed for you, so don't worry too much
    about cleaning up the file).
                              Press the PgDn Key

                         SAMPLE FAULT FINDER SESSION

    In addition to adding the word to the file "PCTYPE.ADD", CtrlZ will
    also add the word to a temporary internal list of words so that you
    do not have to always stop at the same word.

    (*) This temporary list is limited in size to about 40 words.  It will
       disappear when the current Fault Finder session is complted.
     └─────────────────────┐
    Move the cursor to asterisk above and press AltZ.  If you are asked
    for the path, you should enter the correct path to the PC-TYPE+ dic-
    tionary.  The cursor will first stop above on the misspelling of "com-
    pleted".  Press AltZ again and the cursor will stop on AltZ above.
    Press Ctrl Z and you will see that it will not stop on the second
    AltZ.  "AltZ" should now have been added to the list of words to add
    to the the dictionary in the file "PCTYPE.ADD".  Notice that the
    hyphenated words were not marked as errors.
