I seem to recall someone mentioning search and replace being under
threat of one of those foolish patents from some other application that
first provided search and replace, according to them.

Interesting. I would think you could find all kinds of prier are for
search and replace. Maybe not auto-correct, but there was search &
replace, and possibly a spell checker in Word Star for CP/M. The
spell checker would have been a separate module - everything was
broken down into modules because of memory limits. (It ran in less
then 64k of RAM.)

It was a bit of a clunker, but it worked just fine. All the CP/M
machines I had had 64k of memory, and I had darn near one of each. Ric
