NiftySpell v1.1 NDA

A welcome return to the NiftySpell NDA by Chris Vavruska. Originally sold by Shareware Solutions II, NiftySpell has been reclassified as Freeware, and is now available on general release.

The NDA can be used on its own, to spell check an open TextEdit window or the Clipboard, or through a Spectrum XCMD, and from IPC calls from any program.

For the Freeware release, various bugs have been fixed from the original release back in 1998.

Full instructions are included, along with a user manual. Select from either a .bxy or .2mg version, which can be downloaded from: http://www.wannop.info/speccie/
