- Short: Wordworth dictionary converter (AGA>1.0)

- WWSpellCon is an AmigaDOS script which will convert a Wordworth AGA
- dictionary disk to a format which can be used with Wordworth 1.0.
-
- I wrote this script after my brother's Wordworth 1.0 dictionary disk became
- corrupted, and there wasn't a backup to hand. However, after a bit of
- fiddling, I got my Wordworth AGA dictionary disk to work with his system,
- and decided to write this script to make the task a bit easier in the
- future.
-
- From feedback I have received, it seems that all versions of Wordworth AGA
- (Including Version 4) use the same dictionary format. As a consequence,
- this converter should work correctly with all of them.
-
- This script has been tested successfully with the following conversion:
-
- Wordworth 1200/4000 Special Edition ---> Wordworth v1.0
-
- I would much appreciate it if you e-mailed me with the details of any other
- configurations that you use this script on.
