SYNONYMS - Documentation
=========================
Files used:- SYNONYMS.EXE
SYNONYMS.DAT
SYNONYMS.DOC (This file)
The game of SYNONYMS is intended to help children with their
understanding of words. In it they are presented with a word and,
from a list of 5 other words, they have to choose and type in the
the word that has the same meaning.
Each game consists of 10 such words and they are presented with
their score out of 10.
SYNONYMS is intended to form part of a suite of programs called
WORD GAMES. However it can be run on its own by switching to the
directory SYNONYMS and typing SYNONYMS at the > prompt.
The data used by SYNONYMS is held in the ASCII file SYNONYMS.DAT.
Being a simple ASCII file it can be amended with a word processor
or editor running in the ASCII mode.
The form of the data file is as follows:-
First line contains number of pairs of words in the file.
This is followed on the next line by a word with its synonym
on the following line. This pattern is repeated throughout the
file. The length of the words must not exceed 17 characters.
You are free to copy and distribute this program either on its
own or with the rest of the programs in the suite. However,
please include this document with the copy:
