Thanks for the mention about the
Spell Check program - I have solved the
problem of Can't extend, but I have a
problem still with the size of the
dictionary. The problem is with letters
like 'm' because the dictionary only
allows a small number of these to be
entered because of the low frequency
of appearance of such letters.
I need to INCREASE this figure and have
tried by altering the necessary program
lines but end up with error reports
later on when I try to use the program.
I would also like to know why it will
not correct Wordwise Plus files. I am
sure that a simple alteration needs to
be made, but I can't figure it out at
all. HELP!!!

With reference to user 176 ERROR
messages I have a ROM that will work
correctly on an ELECTRON (unsure about
BBC B) called PLUSCOM PLUS TOOLKIT, and
instructions by PROJECT EXPANSIONS.
It also includes *ERREXT. When this
error extension is activated it gives
the normal error report plus displaying
the problem area within the line.
Other utilties on this ROM are as
follows:
*SYSTEM displays current system status
*PLUS disables appropriate interface
plus 1,3,4 etc
*DOUBLE converts a string of up to 255
characters in length into
double height in MODE 6.
*HEXIMON a realtime mcode monitor
*ROML lists ROMs 0 to 15
*UNPLUG disables a specific ROM
*INSERT replaces ROM after *UNPLUG
*LKEY lists function key definitions
*ADS disassembles machine code etc
*BIN takes a 16 bit number from A%
and displays it in binary
*FLUSH flushes all variables
*DTL lists BASIC from tape/disc
*FILL graphics fill routine
*UNLOCK loads locked tape files
*CHADEF starts onscreen character
designer
*KLOAD loads a set of function keys
*KSAVE saves a set of function keys
*RCOPY copies from ROM to sideways RAM
*RCLEAR clears a sideways RAM bank
*LVAR lists variable names
*PAGE moves BASIC to new PAGE value
...and about 11 more functions mainly
for sideways RAM use. As I no longer
use my Electron, I am happy to give
this ROM to user 176 for postage and
packing costs only.
Would Mr Shuker please contact
Duncan so Mr Driscoll's details
can be passed on.

Football game sounds interesting. Is it
a score keeping program? If so, maybe
it could be the bias of a Play by Mail
game? Just a thought that occurred
to me.
