    The spell check functionality has gone away.


    Message comes up:

    Just FYI

    I miss spellcheck already. Is there a way we can get some spellcheck back?

    Restoring spell-check will cost me $150 per year.

    If I get the subscription system working, I may enable spell-check as a subscriber feature, if I think I can recoup the cost.

    $150??

    Heck, I can keep doin' the ol' cut and paste to a word-processing program. My vote is to save your money.

    Peace.

    I personally never use the spell checker since <a href="http://www.apple.com/">Mac OS X</A> has a system-wide spell checker in every text field. Very nice.

    Now you make me feel like a tight-wad. Won't even shell out a few bucks to leave OS 8.6. :bugeye:

    I also vote that you save your money. Word processors work fine... (if I'll use them). Sometimes I'm just to lazy to kick the mouse through the maze though.

    I also vote for you to save money. $150 is too much for spell check. There has to be a better way to do it. I'll keep my eye out, maybe there is some scripting you could plug into the BBS for free.
