VOWELS
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

VOWELS is a stand-alone utility to generate lists of those words containing
a specified number of vowels. For example, to create a list containing all
the words in WORD.LST containing exactly 4 vowels, type: VOWELS 4
and all these words will be stored in the file named VOWELS.4. If you desire
to then narrow it down to 7-letter words containing 4 vowels, run the file
VOWELS.4 through the RF utility using the limit option ( RF VOWELS.4 =7 ).
VOWELS can also search source files other than the default WORD.LST. To use
this option simply type the name of the word file after the number of vowels
specified, for example, typing VOWELS 7 LONGWORD.LST will use the word file
LONGWORD.LST to search for words with 7 vowels.
Isn't it nice to know that there are four words containing exactly 11 vowels?

Note that the vowels utility considers only AEIOU as vowels, *not* Y (in real
life, Y is a vowel *sometimes*). VOWELS cannot at this time be run from the
GO menu interface.
This utility was suggested to me by P.W. of Baltimore (thanks for the idea,
I think).
