DITECT Spelling Check test program

DITECT Spelling Check test program

Program-Installation

Please create directory \ditect on your disk and copy all
delivered files into it. Then change directory:
cd \ditect

Program test-example

Please start test-example by:

DTTEST  nn  DTnn.TXT             (nn = language-no., e.g. 40)

As described under "Start of program" the program will display spelling
errors and unknown expressions (one word per line) and stores them into
file "DTnnEXC.01".

Program DTTEST is just a demo- / test-version of DITECT.
DITECT delivered by us consists of a number of C-sources and disk-files to
be linked into typesetting-/text-systems using editing functions provided there.

Start of program:

cd  \ditect
DTTEST  nn                           or
DTTEST  nn  infile                   or
DTTEST  nn  infile  outfile  (v:) 
         |    |        |      |_____ Display of proposal words for correction.
         |    |        |               May be defined in any case !
         |    |        |____________ Output file optional (only if "infile")
         |    |_____________________ Input file  optional
         |__________________________ Language-no., e.g. 40 = German

When [infile] is missing, text-input is awaited via keyboard.

Text-writing:

One single word per line, ended by ENTER-key or

multiple words per line are interpreted as text-sentence.
When DITECT finds input like that, it checks it word by word
and then tries to find next start-of-sentence, until end-of-text
is reached.

If DITECT finds an error,
- the word is displayed on screen with error markings included.
- if parameter (v:) is defined, proposal words are displayed.

Error markings have following meaning:
~ start of incorrect spelling.
< incorrect small initial letter.
> incorrect capital initial letter.
and some other markings for doubles, missing gap and refused writing.

When an output file [outfile] is defined the original text from [infile],
with error markings included, is written into [outfile].

Words marked as errors are automatically stored in "short-" and "medium-term"
file (DTnnEXC.*) except words with incorrect capital/small initial letter
at start of sentences.

Before next start of program files DTnnEXC.* and DTnnTMP.* should be erased !
