?Hay un diccionario de la lengua espanola disponible? Is there a Spanish dictionary available out there somewhere for ANY Amiga wordprocessor? I've really never understood how Amiga wordprocessing publishers forgot Spanish. After Chinese and English, Spanish is the most-used language, as a primary tongue, with over 140 million speakers. Anyone know how many live in the United States? German is rated five and French is at eleven! What has their answer been for the past two years? We're gonna have one real soon now. !Despertaos! ?No oleis el cafe? Andy [Back from the apple; the big one.] P.S. So much for globalization. The editor choked on all the latin characters (all now anglisized) and blew the navigator right out of the water. Time to take a look at that globalization file in the library, huh?

Andy, We (New Horizons) have a spanish dictionary that can be used with ProWrite. It works with ProWrite, QuickWrite, and Flow. As with our other dictionaries (German, French, Swedish, and British English) you can order it for $35.00 plus $5.00 shipping/handling. We never publicized our Spanish dictionary since we never came out with the spanish version of ProWrite and QuickWrite that we were planning. However, the dictionary works just fine with the English ProWrite. ProWrite even includes a "Change Dictionary" command to switch between several dictionaries without quitting the program. And since you can spell check just a selection of text, you can easily mix English and Spanish in the same document and spell check them both. James Bayless New Horizons Software, Inc.
