  Name:				CFPSSpellCheckEngine
  Part of:			Spell Checking Engine 
  Requires:			USMain.dic, [USUser.dic], [USCommon.dic]

  DESCRIPTION
  ----------------------------------------------------------
  This class is designed to implement a phonetic spell
  checking engine with support for US English (and probably
  UK english)  It implements a simple interface for accessing
  spell checking functions.  It is designed to be very fast
  with support for a user dictionary and a common misspelling
  dictionary to improve performance and user perception.  


  INFO:
  ----------------------------------------------------------
  This class is provided -as is-.  No warranty as to the
  function or performance of this class is provided either 
  written or implied.  
  
  You may freely use this code and modify it as necessary,
  as long as this header is unmodified and credit is given
  to the author in the application(s) in which it is
  incorporated.
