- Acronym Engine
- Dictionary Search Utility
-
- This program allows you to look up acronyms in its own internal dictionary.
- If found, it will display all acronyms matching that pattern. If not, it
- will allow you to add your own definition, if you choose to.
-
- Warning: the search engine is fast (a binary tree), but the current
- incarnation of the add-sorting is not the fastest (it's a deadly-slow
- simple sort, rather than a quicksort). This will be improved upon in the
- next version.
-
- QUIT will exit you from the program.
-
- A few commands which I have left in place and are intended for aiding
- development, but not really for users, are:
-
- *ADD which will add any acronym, including any that has already been
- input (ie. more than one entry for an acronym). It also is a BATCH entry,
- so it sorts only once, saving you A TON of time. I suggest you use this
- when you have more than one acronym to add.
-
- *LIST which will list all the acronyms in the data file.
-
- Good luck, and if you want me to speed up the add, or want some other
- program for SS,RRH,WWIV or Mansion, leave a message on GEnie to B.KUO2,
- or contact Benjamin Kuo at 3419 East 7590 South, Salt Lake City, Utah
- 84121-5439, or (801) 943-4428.
