Buzzword Bingo is a HyperCard stack that generates random Bingo cards from a list of words either typed in by the user or imported from a text file. I suppose this stack could be used to generate legitmate Bingo cards, but it would not be half the fun of generating Buzzword Bingo Cards to be used at staff meetings! Thanks to Dilbert for the inspiration for this stack... I hope you enjoy it and if you find any problems with it or have suggestions, please contact me by email at:

It should run on HyperCard 2.0 and later. This can be distributed on any InfoMac CD ROM. Others, please contact me for permission.
Revision(s):
Version 1.9 fixes a printing error.
Version 1.8 was the first version to make sure that each card doesn't have the same term more than once on the same card. This idea was suggested by several users. The words on the list and the length of the list control whether you have the same term in more than one place on a card. Read the directions on card 1 to find out how to do this.
There have been some problems with people using this stack with HyperCard player. If you have problems making it work, please use it with HyperCard itself.
There have also been some printing problems. I changed the print routine and now it prints correctly. In version 1.8, I made a serious error on fixing the print routine and really broke it. Thanks to Rob McGarva for detecting it.
If you are having problems getting it to make more cards, please make sure you are in "Scripting" mode in HyperCard.
