ENDICT.EXE is a utility program designed to allow the user to insert
the dictionary of their choice into the Scramble game. This would be
expecially useful if you want to use this game in some language other
than English.
The proper way to use endict is like this:
endict <infile name> <outfile name>
where the infile name is the name of the dictionary to be encoded
and the outfile name is the name of the encoded dictionary. If a
file already exists in the directory with the same name as the
outfile name, endict will ask you if you want to overwrite it.
The input dictionary should look something like this:
aback
abacus
abacuses
abalone
abandon
abandons
abase
abash
abasing
abate
.
.
.
The words must be in alphabetical order, in lower case letters, with
one word per line and no punctuation. Words can not have more than 8
letters.
The output file needs to be named scramdic.dct in order to be used
with in Scramble game. If you want to experiment with other
dictionaries, it is recommended you either put them in different
directories, or give them different names, such as scram1.dct,
scram2.dct, etc.
