- Subject: v32i083: acronyms - Acronym Database with lookup script, Part01/04
- Message-ID: <csm-v32i083=acronyms.183343@sparky.IMD.Sterling.COM>
- X-Md4-Signature: 2326208f2b983a317159b5c490684021
- Date: Sun, 20 Sep 1992 23:34:47 GMT
- Approved: kent@sparky.imd.sterling.com
-
- Submitted-by: de5@ORNL.GOV (Dave Sill)
- Posting-number: Volume 32, Issue 83
- Archive-name: acronyms/part01
- Environment: Any
-
- Once upon a time...well, it was over a year ago, anyway, I posted a
- public domain database of acronyms and abbreviations. Since then,
- I've made many additions myself, and received submissions from a few
- alert readers. I've finally gotten around to incorporating these
- additions, fixing typos, deleting duplicates, and generally assuring
- the quality of the database.
-
- The first version contained something like 2800 entries. The new
- version is almost twice the size, at 5877 entries. I'll be posting
- the database in four pieces, as well as the lookup script I've
- written, called "whats".
-
- Database entries are in the format:
-
- ACRON<TAB>- Expansion of Acronym, "pref.us." (hint) [class]
-
- Where:
- ACRON consists entirely of uppercase letters and digits, even
- if the acronym or abbreviation uses other characters
- (this makes lookups easier)
- uppercase letters in the expansion indicate which letters
- formed the acronym (usually)
- "pref.us." contains the preferred capitalization/punctuation,
- if any (especially handy for abbrevs.)
- (hint) provides some clue about the meaning/usage (optional)
- [class] indicates something about whether the acronym refers
- to a specific field, agency, company, etc. (optional)
-
- You can use grep or search to look up acronyms, but if you're on a
- UNIX system the handy "whats" shell script provided is better because
- it understands the file format (making searches more effective) and
- also makes it very easy to add entries to your personal database.
-
- Additions, corrections, and suggestions are welcome. I'll even try to
- do another update in less than a year. :-) But, *please* don't send
- me the complete database with a few (or a few hundred) changes: just
- send me the new/modified entries.
