Installation

• Download winzip (if you don't have it) at: winZip
• Locate the folder where you saved the above file and double click on it to install winzip by following the installation directions shown on the screen.
• Download taigieSpell.zip
• Locate the folder where you saved taigieSpell.zip and double click on it. Winzip will open taigieSpell.zip in a popup window.
• Click on 'Extract' command icons. You may enter a folder such c:\ or d:\ or any other places that you like. Do remember where you extract it to.

Usage

• You need to open a MS-DOS/Command Prompts window. (start -> program -> accessories ..)
• Go the the MS-DOS/command prompts window and enter:

        cd c:\aspell\bin  
           or 
        cd d:\aspell     (depends upon where you extracted taigieSpell.zip to.)
     

• To check myMTL.txt's spelling, enter:

  apsell -d taigie.rws -c c:\tmp\myMTL.txt

  where taigie.rws is the dictionary created with a known 'gwsuu' contributed by Dr Liim Keahioong, Dr. Tio Honggvar, and the faculties and students of WDCTS.
  c:\tmp\myMTL.txt is an article that you wrote in MTL. For now, you need to write it in plain ASCII file - ie. no fancy word processor like MS-Word. Note: w/o specifying -d taigie.rws, aspell will use English dictionary to check your spelling.

• Aspell will display any wrong spelling (if there is one found in taigie.rws) and ask you to fix it by entering a numeric numer or character displayed in front of the correct spelling.
