I wrote the spell checker for WordPro 64. I had to invent a data compression algorithm based on something that I read in an Encyclopedia Brown story to fit the 70k word dictionary onto that 170k floppy. I also wrote one of the original Fastload cartridges (the GT4, also sold by Pro Line software) which was bundled with WordPro 64. So I’m pretty familiar with this problem domain :)
