To assist in -combining the lists suitably for a particular application, the supplement -includes the MAKELIST program. This program is provided as a Windows 98 -executable (MAKELIST.EXE); the source code is also distributed, allowing -the program to be compiled and executed on a non-Windows system such as -Linux. - -Before running the MAKELIST program, you may wish to verify that it has -not been tampered with by running the md5 program, described in -CHECKSUM.DOC, against it. The correct checksum for the Windows -MAKELIST.EXE is F345E5E8DD8E7C7415457EFD22479920. - -To run MAKELIST, either use the Run option from the Windows Start menu, -or bring up a DOS window. If you use Run, enter the full path to -MAKELIST.EXE as the program name. If you use a DOS window, use the CD -command to make the ENABLE2K directory your starting directory, and -then type MAKELIST to execute the program. In either case, you should -run MAKELIST in the directory where you installed both ENABLE2K and -its supplement package. - -MAKELIST determines what to do by asking for user input. It begins by -asking for the name of the file to contain the output list. If you do -not specify a full path, the file will be written in the ENABLE2K -directory. You must not specify the same name as any of the ENABLE -files, as the program will overwrite its input and probably crash. -(One way of avoiding this without knowing all file names is to give the -output file a .TXT extension, as all the ENABLE word lists are named -.LST.) - -After the output file name has been determined, MAKELIST asks you whether -specific lists of words should be included. For each question, an answer -of "y" or "n" is expected. You can also simply hit the Enter key in -response to any question. This is the same as answering "n". MAKELIST -always includes the main ENABLE2K word list, containing the words in -OSPD (r) and long words from MW10. You will be asked if you want to -include each of the following: - -1. Signature words (SIGWORD.LST). These are miscellaneous interesting -words that have been added to the ENABLE2K list to distinguish it from -other similar lists. (See SIGWORD.DOC for more information.) Note -that some signature words are found in one or more of the supplementary -lists, and will be present in the MAKELIST output file if you choose to -include any of these lists. - -2. New MW10 words (MW10ADD.LST). These are words present in the 2000 -edition of MW10 but not in the main ENABLE word list. Some of these -words are new to this edition, while some are words that should have -been present in OSPD, but were apparently overlooked. As with the -signature words, some of these words are present in other lists, and -may be included from these sources even if you reply "n" to this -question. - -3. Stale words (STALE.LST). These are words present in the OSPD, but -not in recent editions of the source dictionaries (see COSSPD.DOC). -These words are included in the base WORD.LST file, but will be excluded -if you reply "n" to this question. - -4. Additional OSPD words (OSPDADD.LST). These are words from five -dictionaries (see 2DICTS.DOC for the list) which met the criteria for -inclusion in OSPD, but which are not included there. Since these are -all short words, adding them can significantly expand a player's options -in Scrabble (r) or a similar word game. - -5. Words confirmed by two dictionaries (2DICTS.LST). These are long -words (over eight letters) listed by at least two of the five source -dictionaries (see 2DICTS.DOC). The addition of these words is likely -to have little effect at Scrabble, but may be significant for other -games. - -6. Additional plurals (PLURALS.LST). These are words the compilers -of ENABLE believe to be valid plurals omitted from OSPD and MW10 (see -PLURALS.DOC). - -7. OSW and Chambers words (ABLE.LST). These are words from OSW (Official -Scrabble Words) and the Chambers dictionary, used for tournament Scrabble -play in Britain and elsewhere (see ABLE.DOC). Adding these words increases -the size of the output list by 50%, adding many unusual short words, and -corresponds to use of the SOWPODS list in Scrabble. If you have down- -loaded the ABLE supplement into the ENABLE2K directory, you will also -be asked if you want to include: - - 7a. OSW and Chambers words which would not be valid in American - Scrabble (mostly foreign words), and - - 7b. Signature corrections to the ABLE word list. - -If you have not downloaded the ABLE supplement, the 7a words will be -excluded, and the 7b corrections will be included. - -8. Lower-case acronyms (LCACR.LST). These are acronyms containing -only lower case letters, such as "pdq" and "tko". These words are not -considered valid for most word games, though there may be occasions -when they are appropriate. - -9. Words with no part of speech (NOPOS.LST). These are words -representing the pronunciation of multi-word phrases, such as "wanna" -and "dunno", which have no part of speech. These words are not -considered valid in Scrabble, but are probably valid for most other -word games. - -10. Inflections of one-letter words (LETTERS.LST). These are words -formed from one-letter words, such as "ps" and "xed". These words -are not considered valid for most word games, though there may be -exceptions where their use is appropriate. - -11. Upper-case words (not proper names) (UPPER.LST). These are words -which are not valid at Scrabble because they contain one or more -capital letters, but which are not proper names or acronyms. These -words are not valid in Scrabble, but may be valid in other word games. -(See AUXFILES.DOC for more discussion of these words.) If you include -these words, you will be asked whether case distinctions should be -preserved. If you answer "y", the same word may appear in the output -list with different capitalization (for example, "march" and "March"). -If you answer "n", the words in UPPER.LST will be lower-cased, and only -one copy of any word will be written to the output list (e.g., the -output will include "march" and "december", but not "March" or -"December"). - -12. Upper-case acronyms (UCACR.LST). These are acronyms which include -capital letters. (See AUXFILES.DOC for a full discussion of "acronym" as -used here.) These words are not considered valid for most word games, -though there may be exceptions where their use is appropriate. The same -options apply as for UPPER.LST. That is, you can choose whether case -distinctions should be preserved or ignored. - -After you have thus selected the input files, you will be given three -additional choices. You will first be asked if you wish to expurgate the -output list by removing potentially offensive words. If you reply "y", -you will be asked to select one of three expurgation levels. If you -intend to expurgate the MAKELIST output, it is very important that you -read EXPURGAT.DOC first, to understand the process and to be able to -choose an appropriate level of expurgation. Next, you will be asked if -you wish to exclude words that cannot be played at Scrabble due to the -size of the board and the letter distribution. If you reply "y", words -longer than 15 letters and words impossible to play like "pizzazz" and -"classlessnesses" will not be written to the output. If you reply "n" to -this question, you will be asked if you want to impose a limit on the -length of the output words. To write only words of length 20 or less, -reply 20 to the question. If you wish to have no limit, reply 0 or just -hit enter. - -After the program completes, it will report on the number of words -written, after which you must hit enter to terminate its execution. - - - - -The OSPD is a trademark of the Milton Bradley Co., Inc.
