- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- RHYME FINDER
-
- This program is an abbreviated version of the POEM WRITER, without the
- word processor, that allows a poem writer to access a rhyming dictionary
- by use of a hot key from a multi-tasking program (such as MicroSoft
- Windows or an IBM OS2) word processor. (It is also directly available
- from DOS, but that is rather inconvenient.)
-
- A separate program, RIMEINST.EXE, also accessible from the RHYME FINDER
- menu box, provides a brief poetry tutor, detailed program installation
- and operations instructions, and how to Register this SHAREWARE program.
-
- Copy all program files to a separate directory, ie/ POETRY.
-
- After starting your MicroSoft Windows or OS2 multi-tasking program, load
- RIMEFIND.EXE, then load your word processor and hot key to the
- RIMEFIND.EXE program when you need to find a rhyme. Be sure to eXit
- the RIMEFIND.EXE program prior to exiting your multi-tasking program.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- The POEM WRITER program contains the following required files:
-
- RIMEFIND.EXE The main program
- RIMEINST.EXE The instruction and tutoring program
- USER.ID User identification
- xx.1 15 single rhyme files, ie/ a.1, ah.1, at.1, etc.
- xx.2 and xx.3 30 additional double and triple rhyme files
- (requires registration and ordering)
-
- ReadMe files, etc., are not required for operation of the POEM WRITER.
-
- To install copy all of the above files to the directory of your choice,
- ie/ C:\POETRY. (Use of a hard disk is not required for the Unregistered
- Shareware version, but makes rhyme file recovery much faster.)
-
- To start the RHYME FINDER program start your Windows or IBM OS2
- multi-tasking program, load/start RIMEFIND.EXE, then load your
- multi-tasking word processor and hot key to the RHYME FINDER whenever
- you need to find a rhyme.
-
- A separate instruction and tutoring program, RIMEINST.EXE, may be
- reached either before starting the RHYME FINDER by typing RIMEINST and
- pressing Enter, or from within the RHYME FINDER program by selection of
- Instructions from the Menu box.
-
-
- The POEM WRITER program is a single line editor word processor, designed
- for use in writing rhyming poems whose length is usually substantially
- less than a normal page width. It does not word wrap, but does have a
- number of aid to poem writing, including a variable width editing
- screen, a rhyming dictionary, and various tools such as a method to
- remember selected rhymes while further editing and a list of the metric
- length of the lines in the stanzas in your poem.
-
- If you would prefer to use your own word processor, and if you have an
- ability to "hot key" change from one program to another, (such as is
- available in the use of MicroSoft Windows or IBM OS2) then you may wish
- to order the companion program, RHYME FINDER. This program uses the
- same rhyme files and search system as the POEM WRITER, but does not
- include a word processor and the special tools other than the dictionary.
-
- To operate it you first load the RHYME FINDER program, then you load
- your word processor and start writing. When you need a rhyme you simply
- press the hot key(s) to switch to the RHYME FINDER, and follow the same
- proceedure that is used in finding rhymes in the POEM WRITER.
-
- For more information see ORDERING by going to Instructions from the menu
- within either the POEM WRITER or RHYME FINDER program.
