It must be based solely on the Caighdeán, as I typed in some examples using Munster verbs & vocab. and it returns them as being neamhchaighdeánach.

Additionally it flags ar an ndoras as wrong (or, more accurately, tells me the eclipsis is unnecessary), even though that's the correct way of things in Kerry & Cork.

Yes,
I believe that it is set up on the net for the caighdeán only.

I emailed the author, and looked at the notes that come alone with it -the strength is that it is in Perl, so can analyse strings of text. But the real thing is that it goes on what you put into it, meaning that if one was to use Old Irish, Donegal, MI, Keating's Irish or synthetic Munster forms, the corpus it is fed on will become the reference grammar it looks to match.

In that sense, it has potential.

I see that one of the contributors for the Irish version is also the creator of the programme Ceart, a grammar checker for Mac OSX which uses the same content as Gramadóir but has an interface customised for the Mac platform. I've been tempted to try that, but the latest version of OSX my machine will run is 10.2.8, and Ceart requires 10.3.9+
