Michael,

I like your spell -- I liked 1.0 better (a little).
I'mI'm not sure if this was plannwed, but I discovered
that I could rename spell (1.0() ame spell (1.0) to "spelstar.ovr"
and WS would correctly (apparently) evoke it w/
the "S" at the no-foile menu.  When it returned, there
was a minor glitch due to returning .bak filename,
but no matter.  

However, for all the bugs you mhave fixed in spell 1.1, 
it now refuses to behave properly when renamed,
as above, and evoked from ws a"' la spellstar.

I get an  disk error every time.  However, when
called from cp/m directly, it seems to work just fine.

Query:  can the virtues of 1.1 be retained while
whatever changes are made to permit spell to once
again masquerade as spellstar?ar?  It would be nice.

Also, how difficult is it to augment 1.1 to print
out tehhe word-statisticas at the end of a run?
I
   
I know this is all really nit-picking -- thanks
for a good program.
