Reference Software has updated its grammar checker for the IBM
PC so that it now works directly from within your word
processor; the program now detects more than 10,000 writing
errors, gives you a choice of writing styles, and can correct
errors instantly.
 
Grammatik IV works from within 33 word processors, including
WordPerfect 5.0, Word 5.0, Professional Write 2.1, WordStar
5.5, and others, when you press a "hot key." Once you select
a writing style, Grammatik IV proofs the document according to
the appropriate options, grammar rules, and dictionaries. You
can also tell it to substitute all recommended changes that
Grammatik IV has flagged.
 
Reference says it is also working on a British Edition, for
release in November. Other international versions will be
available in 1990, the company reports.
 
Price: $99; five-user network version, $189.
 
Contact: Reference Software International, 123 Townsend St.,
Suite 102, San Francisco, CA 94107, (415) 541-0222. You can see
Grammatik IV at Fall Comdex '89, booth 8244 in the Las Vegas
Hilton Center from November 13-17.
