- TEA Database Builder - Version 1.00
- -----------------------------------
-
- This archive contains an encoder for the database files used by The
- Electronic Alveary. The core TEA package can be found in archives
- named TEAnnn.ZIP where nnn is the version number.
-
- This archive should contain the following files:
-
- TEABD100.DOC This document
- TEABUILD.C 'C' source for the database builder
- TEABUILD.EXE The database builder compiled for MS-DOS
-
- Under MS-DOS you can use TEABUILD to convert an ASCII word list file
- into the encoded form that is directly used by the TEA program.
-
- Each line of the input file is assumed to be a single entry used in
- matching; upper and lower case letters, spaces, apostrophes and
- hyphens are encoded in the output database. All other characters are
- discarded.
-
- For the best possible compression, the input file should be sorted
- alphabetically with case differences and all non-alphabetic characters
- ignored in the sort.
-
- The database builder is used as follows:
-
- TEABUILD <ascii_input_file>
-
- The program will generate files named WORDS.nn containing the encoded
- word list. These can then be used with TEA as described in the manual
- included with the core package.
