FRENCH GRAMMAR AND SPELLING CHECKER NOW AVAILABLE IN THE U.S. Written by John Chandioux, a leading Canadian grammarian, GramR 2.0 (pronounced Gram-aire) provides a suite of grammar and spell checking tools for anyone writing in French. Available in both DOS and Windows versions, the program consists of four major modules: A spelling checker containing over 350,00 French words and word-forms. A conjugueur which provides all major conjugations and participles for thousands of regular and irregular French verbs. A parser which detects errors in agreement of number and gender in article, adjective, subject, verb and participle. The parser also detects confusions between words (quant/quand) confusion between past participle and infinitive, double-typed words, and common typing errors. Multiple personal dictionaries are provided for industry or profession-specific terms. Both GramR pour DOS and GramR pour Windows offer extensive mouse support including cut-and-paste from the conjugueur to text being edited. Extensive on-line grammatical help screens note probable errors and offer suggested corrections. The conjugueur is available at any time with the touch of a function key. Simply type the infinitive of any regular or irregular verb and its conjugation and participle are displayed. Both versions of GramR may be run in either memory-resident or standalone mode. The DOS version is directly compatible with WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Works, WordStar 2000, Textor or any word processor able to produce ASCII text. The Windows version is directly compatible with Ami Pro, WordPerfect for Windows, Works for Windows, Word for Windows 1.0, and indirectly with any Windows word processor able to produce ASCII text. GramR pour DOS includes a memory resident keyboard utility that allows direct entry of accented letters from the American "QWERTY" keyboard from little used keys. In the U.S. and Western Canada, on-screen installation instructions are in English.
