Hi David,
Canadian English mirrors UK English in spelling.
If wordstar allows one to save files in plain text, then this might be the ticket. will certainly be worth a try.

Hi Karen,

For quite a number of years, (before I even had Windows 3.1), I used Wordstar 2000 r3.00; 1988 version. Being pure DOS, you could only interact by keyboard - no mouse function. I am British, so did not need Canadian English, hence I have no idea whether Wordstar 2000 could provide the Canadian version. But perhaps British English is closer to Canadian English, than U.S. English?; I don't know. I can let you have a copy of Wordstar 2000, if you like. It is long out of licence protection.

 Hi folks,
 My goal is to quickly do spell checking leading to Canadian spellings for
 files I am going to share on the Internet.
 I have Wordperfect 6.2, and it is supposed to let me write in Canadian
 English..but I have not managed to get it changed from u. s. English.
 Leading to this need.  If there is another dos word processor I do not
 mind installing it.  still, a simple text editor will work too.
 Before providing ideas, I only run pure DOS.
 No windows, no Linux.
 Anyone have a prospect?

 Thanks,
 Karen
