- ENDICT.EXE is a utility program designed to allow the user to insert
- the dictionary of their choice into the Scramble game. This would be
- expecially useful if you want to use this game in some language other
- than English.
-
- The proper way to use endict is like this:
-
- endict <infile name> <outfile name>
-
- where the infile name is the name of the dictionary to be encoded
- and the outfile name is the name of the encoded dictionary. If a
- file already exists in the directory with the same name as the
- outfile name, endict will ask you if you want to overwrite it.
-
- The input dictionary should look something like this:
-
- aback
- abacus
- abacuses
- abalone
- abandon
- abandons
- abase
- abash
- abasing
- abate
- .
- .
- .
-
- The words must be in alphabetical order, in lower case letters, with
- one word per line and no punctuation. Words can not have more than 8
- letters.
-
- The output file needs to be named scramdic.dct in order to be used
- with in Scramble game. If you want to experiment with other
- dictionaries, it is recommended you either put them in different
- directories, or give them different names, such as scram1.dct,
- scram2.dct, etc.
