Yankee Text Translator
V1.0
What you need to know:
The file PHRASE.FIL must be in the default directory.
YANKEE.EXE can not run without it. I will see about
trying to fix this in future versions.
The file PHRASE.FIL contained 98 records when I ARCed it
for distribution. You may add or delete more records as
you wish. If you add to the data base, it is VERY
IMPORTANT to put longer strings ahead of shorter
strings.
little more dite moah
it was not tweren't

beautiful gawgeous
it wasn't twasn't
it isn't tisn't
bit more dite moah
bathroom outhouse
separate split up
an awful a wick'd
foreign outa' state
am not ain't
In the above example, notice how the strings being
searched for (in the left column) are arranged by length.
If you do not keep them in this order, the program will
not work properly.
The format of the file PHRASE.FIL is:
<String to look for><TAB CHARACTER><String to substitute>
The program is not wicked fast.
I wrote it for fun, so don't take it too seriously. It
translates by substituting strings, and does not try to
pretend to have artificial intelligence.
If you give this to anybody else, please make sure that
they get a copy of the docs, and a copy of the ORIGINAL
data base, even if you give them a copy of the data base
you altered.
