- The OFSET utility generates lists of all words containing a specified number
- of letters of a designated set. For example, OFSET will find all words
- containing at least two of the letters in the set XZKJQ by the command:
- OFSET XZKJQ 2.
-
- To use OFSET, just type: OFSET xxxxxxx n, where xxxxxxx is the letter pool
- from which at least 'n' letters will be contained in the words of the gener-
- ated list. OFSET ABCD 3 will generate a list of all words containing at least
- 3 of the letters ABCD.
-
- OFSET may be directed to search a different file from the standard WORD.LST.
- To use this option, type OFSET xxxxxx n filename.zzz, where xxxxxx is the
- letter set, n is the minimum number of letters from the set in the generated
- words, and filename.zzz is the name of the file to be searched. This permits
- the LONGWORD.LST to be used if desired.
-
- Note that the OFSET utility may take a bit longer to run than the other WORDY
- utilities, as much as 15 seconds or more, depending on how many words written
- to the generated word list file. Writing multiple thousand words can be very
- time intensive.
-
- The entire WORDY package still costs only $2.00 (cheap!) to register - a real
- bargain in these days of inflated shareware registration fees, not to mention
- highly overpriced commercial software.
