This is the program that I described in the Dec. '85 issue of BYTE.
See BREKDOWN.DOC for a description of the program. Note that you can only
RE-compile BREKDOWN.PAS if you have the TURBO Database Toolbox. Sample
output is found in four files:
BREKDOWN.XMP Examples of several levels
OLDZEN.RAW Some raw output produced from a level-8 BREKDOWN of
100K of Zen text
OLDZEN.TXT More output from the same old text, but cleaned up,
punctuated, and formatted. Pretty convincing!
REAGAN.OUT A BREKDOWN of President Reagan's state-of-the-union.

PLEASE run the README program for a full explanation of NAMEGRAM. I have
released this small-scale version into the public domain so that you may
try it and see if you like it. The capabilities of the larger version
are detailed in the README program.
Files on the disk:
README.COM Run this for info on the program
NAMEGRAM.COM The main program itself
MASHED.?? The compressed word files
NEWPOS.FUN Source for a fast POS function, to be used ONLY for
finding the position of a single character within
a string
SANFRANC.ISC A portion of the huge number of possible anagrams of
SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA
RONALDWI.LSO A portion of the equally huge number of anagrams of
RONALD WILSON REAGAN
NAMEGRAM runs on any IBM PC or true compatible. It was written in TURBO
Pascal. The word files were gleaned from many sources and hand-edited by
the author. The README program contains the DOC files compressed within
itself -- these screens were created using "SAYWHAT?!", a screen and
program generator for DBASE, TURBO, and BASIC.
NAMEGRAM has not been tested for memory requirements. The small version
shouldn't have any trouble, but the large might need 256K for a name that
has a LOT of possible anagrams. Chips are cheap -- YOU deserve 640K!
To obtain the full version of NAMEGRAM, with printer output, words up to
12 letters, and some bells and whistles, send $20 to:
