Fall 1984 DECUS submission from Vassar College.

This submission contains two directories:

[.spell]

This directory contains the files for a comprehensive spelling checker which
can correct files containing text and embedded commands for a number of
different word processors. All necessary files are provided, including
dictionaries. The checker includes guessing algorithms which may optionally be
invoked if a wrongly spelled word is encountered, a facility for creating
personal dictionaries, and provision for the automatic submission of words not
found in the dictionaries to a maintenance person so that the main dictionaries
may be periodically updated. The checker creates a corrected file as output,
and optionally also produces a log file showing all changes made. It is
a new submission for this DECUS tape.

[.reserve]

This is a re-submission of the RESERVE program that appeared on the Fall 1983
SIG tape. Functionally, the program remains the same, but two important
bugs have been fixed, one created by a bug in the PASCAL V2.5 compiler (as
yet unfixed by DEC) and the other a date problem which did not come to
light until 1-JAN-1984! RESERVE is an on-line terminal reservation system
suitable for use on VAXen which have hard-wired terminals - i.e. not
port-switched or network terminals.
