VERBS - Documentation
=========================
Files used:- VERBS.EXE
VERBS.DAT
VERBS.DOC (This file)
The game of VERBS is intended to help children with their
understanding of words. In it they are presented with a verb and,
from a list of 5 nouns, they have to choose and type in the noun
which goes with that verb.
Each game consists of 10 such verbs and they are presented with
their score out of 10.
VERBS 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 VERBS and typing VERBS at the > prompt.
The data used by VERBS is held in the ASCII file VERBS.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 verbs in the file.
This is followed on the next line by a verb. On the next line
is the number of nouns associated with that verb and this is
followed by the nouns themselves. 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:
If you like the program/suite of programs and/or make a copy, it
would be appreciated if you could send a donation of £5.00 to me:

This will enable and encourage me to continue producing educational
software for the PC. Also, any comments or suggestions would be
most welcome as this feedback is
always useful.
