- WHAT IS THIS *WORDY* BUSINESS, ANYHOW?
- ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
-
- The word lists in this SCRABLST package were *automatically* generated using
- utilities in the WORDY shareware package by the same author. Yes, this is an
- advertisement of sorts for WORDY. For a $2.00 registration (plus shipping
- and handling if you order a disk directly from the author), WORDY puts in
- your hands a complete set of pattern matching, word list generating and
- reformatting utilities, as well as a fun word game to practice and exercise
- Scrabble (tm) playing skills. Best of all, WORDY contains at its core an
- all-inclusive list of 99,000+ words compatible with the 2nd edition of the
- OSPD (tm). It is easy to generate word lists to your specifications and do
- various flavors of anagramming with the WORDY utilities. No serious Scrabble
- (tm) player should be without WORDY! For programmers and bit fiddlers, the
- WORDY package even contains the complete source code, in C, of all the
- utilities.
-
- To show how much more you get in WORDY if you enjoyed SCRABLST, there
- follows a file listing of the WORDY package.

- The author of SCRABLST AND WORDY takes a modest bow... <grin>
-
- WORDY (and other shareware / freeware by the author) is available for
- download on many local and national BBS's, from some disk vendors, and on
- some CD ROM shareware compilations. If you are unable to locate it, you may
- order it directly from the author on 3.5" diskette for the (modest) $2.00
- registration + $1.50 shipping & handling. (You can even save yourself the
- $1.50 shipping / handling charge if you enclose a stamped, self-addressed
- disk mailer with a blank 3.5" HD diskette.) You will receive in return not
- only the latest version of WORDY (as of this date 3.13), but in addition a
- selection of the author's other interesting software.
