     This submission includes a high performance spelling  checker  written
     in  COBOL.   It runs much faster than previous Fortran implementations
     and uses a standard RMS indexed file for the dictionary.

     1.  [NDS.SPEL]SPELL.EXE  -  persons  writing  or   maintaining   large
         documentation  files  will appreciate the speed and flexibility of
         this spelling checker.  Installation and extensive program details
         are  in  SPELL_PROGRAM.RNO, in Digital Standard Runoff.  A 91,000+
         word dictionary in compact form is included.   User  documentation
         is  in  SPELL.RNO, also DSR.  Non-COBOL shops are provided with an
         executable image and a DCL command file which controls the options
         via logical names.
