The WORDY Utilities
===================


The enclosed files are the source code for the WORDY utilities,
compilable under any generic UNIX. Note that there are no
Makefiles, as these are not necessary. For example to compile
anagram.c:
      gcc -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -oanagram anagram.c.

No docs are included (docs are for wimps anyway). You may obtain
docs for most of these utilities from the MSDOG version of WORDY.
You *will* need to obtain the word list from there, in any case
(then convert it to UNIX ASCII format by removing the CR's).

I have been using Linux as a development platform for the WORDY
utilities. This means there are a few utilities with, as of yet,
no DOS equivalents, or docs. Brief descriptions of these follow.


hook2.c, hookn.c hooks.c: Word hook generating tools. See if you can
figure out how to use these by reading the source code (snicker).

nogoodtest.c: Checks word lists for non-alph characters.

pattern_extended.c: Same as pattern.c, but not limited to 9
letter patterns.

weigh.c: Analysis tool for assigning probability weights to
words.

Best of luck using these.
