2Rud Software is proud to announce the availability of SpellGuard v1.2, the
spell checker for *all* applications.

SpellGuard is an as-you type Spell Checker for PM programs, programs that run
in an OS/2 Window, and DOS programs in a DOS Window. It can find the closest
match and replace the incorrect word with the correct one and you can add
words to the 77K word dictionary.

SpellGuard is fully 32bit and takes full advantage of OS/2. It is
multi-threaded, takes very little CPU and has a comprehensive help system. It
also includes a dictionary maintenance program and a program that allows you
to add a file of words to the dictionary.

If you are online then you *need* this program!

New in v1.2:
  * Inclusion list - have SpellGuard check the words only in the window titles
    or Exes that you specify.
  * Configurable hotkeys - Use Ctrl+Alt+key or Ctrl+Shift+key to jump to
    SpellGuard and back to your application
  * Auto expanding abbreviations - create an abbreviation for a long phrase or
    string of characters and when typed, SpellGuard automatically expands it
    in place in your application.
  * A new larger (> 77,000 words) more accurate US dictionary.
  * Dictionaries for Dutch, French, British English and German languages.
  * A REXX interface for registered users
  * A third party tool kit is available for developers to add registered
    SpellGuard support to their applications.

    And more!
