- FlashCard V1.10
-
- Hot on the heels of version 1.00. Hopefully there are fewer potential bugs,
- disasters etc. in V1.10. There are also a few added features (well one).
-
- There is now a simple search option so that the card files can be used as a
- dictionary of sorts. Combine them together as recommended in the original
- Readme file and you can search for words or complete entries in the pinyin
- and English text. Click on 'search' in the main menu and a dialog box will
- appear. Enter the string you want to search for and select the appropriate
- radio button for english or pinyin. The cards will be rearranged (in
- memory), putting the results of your search at the beginning. Up to ten
- matches will be found and they can be displayed in sequence as normal. If
- there is more than one match, the 'random' option will be switched off so
- that all the results can be seen.
-
- The tone must be included when searching pinyin - ie 'hao' will not find a
- match but 'hao3' (3rd tone) will. Parts of phrases will not be matched - ie
- 'I am fine' will produce a match, but 'I am' won't. Capital letters must be
- entered exactly as they appear in the text.
-
- The system variables FCSimpFont and FCTradFont are set up in the !Run file,
- rather than embedding the names in the code. These should be set to the names
- of the HBF files for the fonts you want to use. Make sure the paths inside
- these are also correctly set so that the bitmaps can be found.
