SEARCH
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
The WORDY game checks the "validity" of played words against a 100,000+ word
dictionary file. Using the stand-alone SEARCH utility, you may check whether
a word is included in the dictionary, telling you incidentally whether that
word is usable when playing the Scrabble (tm) word game.
To check any particular word, type, from the DOS prompt, SEARCH XXXXX,
where XXXXX is the word. For example, to check the word "zarf", type:
search zarf. This checks if the word is in the master word file, word.lst.
To check if a given word is in any *other* word file, type:
search XXXXX FILENAME, where XXXXX is the word and FILENAME is the file name.
This feature is particularly useful if you have obtained the supplementary
LONGWORD.LST, a list of 147,526 words over 8 letters long given as a bonus to
registered WORDY users. To check if "abasement" is in LONGWORD.LST, type:
search abasement longword.lst
Note: you *must* register WORDY to obtain the LONGWORD.LST. It is not a part
or the WORDY package.
