OFSET
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
December, 1995
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.
