- GO: The Menu-Driven User Interface for the WORDY Utilities
- ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
-
- The WORDY utilities run from the DOS command line. This can cause a problem
- for people unaccustomed to invoking programs from the command line, and some
- may consider it an annoyance to have to repeatedly run the utilities in this
- fashion. Along comes GO.EXE to the rescue.
-
- Type simply GO to pop a menu listing almost all the WORDY utilities. Select
- from the menu which word list(s)* to use, then choose the utilities to run,
- and repeat as necessary. Output may be directed to a file or to the screen.
- The RF file reformatter automatically "pretties up" the files (if you wish
- to use the "letter-select" option of RF, you must still invoke it from the
- command line).
-
- Note that although the WORDY game is given as a selection in the menu, it
- does *not* at this time run reliably when "launched" from the GO menu. It is
- highly recommended that the WORDY game still be run from the command line.
- This may be "fixed" in a later update.
-
- The GO menu program was written especially for WORDY by Steve Oliger, a heck
- of a nice fellow and a crackerjack programmer. Steve has kindly granted me
- permission to distribute GO with WORDY, and I acknowledge my debt to him for
- a significant improvement to the WORDY package. Steve is well known in the
- Scrabble (tm) community as a programmer, innovator, and analyst. He may be
- contacted at his e-mail address, oliger@epix.net.

-
- *The standard word list used in the WORDY utilities is WORD.LST, an OSPD3-
- compatible list included as part of the WORDY package. The LONGWORD.LST, an
- extra file of 171,000+ words over 8 letters long may also be used with the
- utilities. This list is given as a registration bonus (see WORDLST.DOC).
