Is this really more than a spell checker? Your pub (which I
received by e-mail - thank you) states that this product
is 300k, uncompressed. I find it hard to believe that
anything this small could be more than a spell checker.
After all, Websters uses what, 11 Mb? 

For people who are interested in this kind of product, I
would also like to mention that HSD is presently
beta-testing a spell checking app. It conforms with the
NeXT spell checking API, and can be accessed either
through the Edit->Spelling button or as a service.
I believe it will do English, French and German.

While I welcome the arrival of Pro Lexis and HDSpell, these
products confirm the fact that NeXT doesn't intend to fully
support other languages "out of the box", and that people who
want to work in another language than English will have to pay
extra $$$...
