ODD WORD OUT - Documentation
=========================
Files used:- ODDWORD.EXE
ODDWORD.DAT
ODDWORD.DOC (This file)
The game of ODD WORD OUT is intended to help children with their
understanding of words. In it they are presented with a topic
(eg. TREES) and, from a list of 5 other words, they have to
choose and type in the odd word out of that list.
Each game consists of 10 such topics and they are presented with
their score out of 10.
ODD WORD OUT 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 ODDWORD and typing ODDWORD at the > prompt.
The data used by ODD WORD OUT is held in the ASCII file ODDWORD.
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 topics in the file.
This is followed on the next line by a topic. After that is
the number of words which fit that topic (At least 4) then the
words themselves. This is followed by the number of odd words out
(At least 2) and the odd words out themselves.
This pattern is repeated through 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:

educational software for the PC. Also, any comments or

useful.
