A comment I can't resist:
It's wrong to use a spell checker on Shakespeare's works, because:
A) Standardized spelling didn't exist in his time
B) He's Shakespeare and you're not
(No offense meant, of course - a comment made purely in jest)
On a more serious note, hats off to both Dimitre and Mike for FXSL and
Saxon - excellent work.

... why I almost never use a spell-checker -- they never know my
favorites!
(Seriously -- that's some pretty impressive work going on over there.)
Cheers,
