I was just having a conversation about how Word Processors have
changed since the 1980s and spell check being a major part of it. I
was talking about AppleWorks. I remember that when I upgraded from AW
2.1 to version 3.0, the new version had a built-in spell checker that
looked almost identical to TimeOut Quickspell. It seemed a little more
efficient than QuickSpell, but otherwise looked identical.
Did Claris buy the source code from Beagle Bros? I don't recall ever
seeing any articles about it, but in that time frame my only real
sources for news in the computing world was InCider/A+ magazine and
the BRCC newsletter.
Just curious, I probably should have posted this question in the mid
'90s when I was more active on this group, but for some reason I never
thought of it while at a computer that I could use to access Usenet.
oh, to e-mail me, drop the news from my address.
