They are: * SpellMan.txt document you're now reading. 'Nuff said. * SpellMan.pkg software package you'll install on your Newton. * SA Reg.pkg software package you'll install on your Newton to enter the password you get when you register SpellMan. * SAStuff.txt A list of all Stand Alone products. * Installing SpellMan --------------------------------------------------------------------- First off, you must get the SpellMan software package onto your Newton. You can do this using the Newton Connection Utility (for Mac or Windows), the Newton Package Downloader, or the Newton Backup Utility. See the documentaion with each of these for more information on installing packages with them. * Using SpellMan --------------------------------------------------------------------- SpellMan adds a button to the status bar or routing menu of your NotePad. Tapping on this will check the spelling of the current note. If it finds any mispelled words, it will display the word, then provide you with a list of possible alternatives, and let you select one or write in your own. You can also add the word to your personal word list, ignore the mispelling, or change all instances of this mispelling. * Registering SpellMan --------------------------------------------------------------------- You have a 30 day trial period in which to examine SpellMan, during which it will function fully. Should you wish to register, you'll need to do one of the following: * Call us and pay using Visa or Mastercard. We can give you a password right over the phone: instant gratification! (773) 477-2492. * Send us a check for $15 to the address below. * Using CompuServe, GO SWREG. However you register, PLEASE be sure to include an email address (it's not vital, but it will result in MUCH speedier service) and your name, as entered in the Owner Info section of your Newton. This is used to generate the password we send you to unlock SpellMan, so it has to be exact. Once you register, you will receive a password from us. To use it, install the SA Register package (also enclosed in the SpellMan archive), select "SpellMan" from the pop up menu at the top, and enter the password. You should get a message confirming the password. You may then remove the SA Register application from you Newton. * Contacting us --------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have any questions regarding SpellMan, or any other Stand Alone Newton application, please don't hesitate to contact us: Email: internet: info@standalone.com (<-- preferred) AOL: Std Alone CompuServe: 76342,3057 Phone: Voice: (773) 477-2492 Fax: (773) 477-2579 Regular Mail: Stand Alone 3171 N.
