- How to install 'Word Hound'
- ---------------------------
-
- Word Hound is supplied in 5 parts (excluding this file) :
-
- WordHound1 - Spark archive containing the main parts of the application.
-
- WordHound2 - Data file. Containing Roget's 1901 thesaurus.
-
- WordHound3 - Data file. Containing 1st part of dictionary.
-
- WordHound4 - Data file. Containing 2nd part of dictionary.
-
- WordHound5 - Data file. Containing 3rd part of dictionary.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- To be able to install the full version you will need just under 4Meg for
- the application, and about 2Meg more to actually perform the installation.
-
- If you don't have this much free space see the end of this file.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- To install Word Hound follow these steps :
- ========================================
-
- 1) Using Spark (or ArcFS, etc) open the 'WordHound1' archive and copy the
- files to your hard disc.
-
- 2) Open the '!WordHound' application directory that now resides on your
- hard disc.
-
- 3) Copy the remaining (data) files so that they are inside the application
- directory.
-
- 4) Rename 'WordHound2' to 'ROGET-D'.
-
- 5) Make sure 'WordHound3', 'WordHound4' and 'WordHound5' are correctly
- named. Also check you now have at least 2Meg free on your hard disc.
-
- 6) Double click on the '!Install' obey file that is inside the application
- directory. Make sure you run the '!Install' obey file, and not the Install
- BASIC program.
-
- 7) If you don't get any errors from step 6, and you have now a file in the
- application directory which is called 'dict-d' and is 1956951 bytes long,
- you can delete the following files from within the application
- directory :
-
- 'WordHound3', 'WordHound4', 'WordHound5', '!Install' and 'Install'.
-
- Word Hound is now ready to run...
-
-
- If you don't have 6Meg hard disc space
- ======================================
-
- If you don't have enough hard disc space to install this application, there
- are two things you can do :
-
- 1) Only install the thesaurus part. This requires only about 1.6Meg
- of disc space :
-
- Follow steps 1 and 2 above.
- Now delete the following : 'dict-q', 'dict-i', '!Install', 'Install'.
- Copy 'WordHound2' to the application directory.
- Rename 'WordHound2' to 'ROGET-D'.
-
- Word Hound will now work fine, but you will just be unable to get
- dictionary definitions.
-
- 2) If you have 4Meg free, but just not 6Meg, you can manually install the
- dictionary data file. All that '!Install' (and 'Install') do is to take
- 'WordHound3', 'WordHound4' and 'WordHound5' and join them (end to end)
- to make 'dict-d'.
