Glossary of synonyms for the Readability program.
Parts of the glossary may be omitted by enclosing the
relevant sections between "fish-hooks" as shown here.
Use capitals for key words. If a word is terminated
with a space, a search will be made for words having
the same initial letter as that word. The optional
text with comments following the word may consist of
up to 40 characters.
Installation of glossary:
If DOS 3.0 or later is used, the glossary should
preferably be entered in the same directory as the
program itself, or on the directory which is current
when the program is started. The file should be
called SYNLIST.RDB.
For DOS versions prior to 3.0 the glossary should be
in the directory which is current when the program
is started. The file should be called SYNLIST.RDB.
An optional glossary can be selected with a parameter
on command line or command file, example:
L=C:\RIX\OWNSYN.RDB
After the fish-hook you can enter your list of synonyms.
