- PENNAME is copyright 1988, 1989 by R.K. West
-
- PENNAME is designed as a light-hearted aid to assist writers in
- selecting character names or pen names for themselves. The program
- allows you to select the category of name you want (you may pick
- different categories for first and last name), and to try different
- combinations. You may also save names you like in a list of
- "possibilities" to be examined later. The program is distributed
- with a few hundred names supplied, but you will probably want to
- add more names to the data base. Don't worry about duplications;
- there is a built-in duplication preventor. If you wish to change
- the category of an existing name, simply enter it as a new name and
- the categories you select will replace the pervious categories.
- To start the program, you will need these files:
-
- PENNAME.EXE
- FIRST.DBF
- LAST.DBF
- POSS.DBF
-
- PENNAME then creates these files:
-
- FIRST.NTX
- FIRST1.NTX
- LAST.NTX
- LAST2.NTX
- POSS.NTX
- PENNAME.MEM
-
- Have fun!
