- This is my first attempt at writing a program of this complexity in "C".
- As far as I can tell, the program is self explanatory. The only item I need
- to mention is the movement of your playing cursor. The default movement is
- horizontal, from right to left via the cursor keys. Use the space bar to
- toggle this to the vertical direction.
-
- This program currently uses all available memory left after DOS is loaded.
- This is due to the fact the dictionary is loaded into memory. The result of
- this is very fast program operation. I preferred this method to the much slower
- operation using file based dictionary searches. I realize this is a pain in
- the @## for all you who have numerous TSRs loaded. I use them too. My solution
- utilizes a small program that performs a "warm boot" on my machine. Using this,
- I have several batch files (and *.sys files) that I can boot from to put my
- machine into almost any configuration. This makes it fairly painless to
- switch my machine's configuration back and forth. I have included this reboot
- program and some sample batch files.

- At this time I know of no bugs in the program. I would appreciate any bug
- reports so I can take evasive action.
-
- That's it for the documentation. I wrote this program for my own recreation
- and expect no money in return if you happen to enjoy it. (I also won't send
- any back if it arrives in the mail <grin>.)
-
- P.S. Oops, one last item. During play if you enter a word not found in the
- internal dictionary, you will be asked if indeed it is a real word. If you
- answer "YES", the word is added to the file "NEWWORDS.TXT". This is the
- auxiliary dictionary file searched if no match is found in the main
- dictionary. "NEWWORDS.TXT" is a standard ASCII file which you can edit and
- modify to suit your needs.
