[Excalibur 1.2 - part 1 of 9]

---
Excalibur is a Macintosh spelling checker for LaTeX documents. It also
does a fairly good job with plain TeX files.  It reads files of type
TEXT and it is smart enough to ignore most LaTeX commands and a fair
number of plain TeX commands. Since it just ignores these commands, it
will also serve quite nicely as a spelling checker for any TEXT file
that doesn't contain any LaTeX or TeX commands. (It is not completely
accurate to say that Excalibur ignores LaTeX commands. It will process
any arguments that contain text).

Excalibur is a stand-alone application that we have tested with both
OzTeX and Textures documents. The fact that it is a stand-alone
application should not present any inconvenience since it works with
MultiFinder under System 6 and it is System 7 aware.

You will need System 6.0.4 or higher to run Excalibur.

There is extensive on-line help.  You will find it under the Apple menu
if you are running System 6, and under the Balloon Help menu if you are
running System 7 or greater.

Excalibur is free.
