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