The only "problem" with it is that it is necessary to close the file in Textures before opening it with Excalibur to spell-check, but this is a minor inconvenience. By the way, it is apparently designed for LaTeX, but works perfectly with plain TeX files. I hope that Blue Sky will make arrangements with the author to let them integrate it into Textures. R.
