-\r
-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
