- All debugging code removed for clarity.
- All code now commented.
-
- 16 Jun 90 V0.1 Now outputs to RAM:VALID and screen. (no choice yet!)
- File output includes a count by word length and a
- count by initial letter.
- Code tidied slightly, removing unused variables.
- Title added to output.
-
- 16 Jun 90 V0.15 Switch for specific word length [4 to 9 or long(10+)].
- Printf's replaced by puts where possible.
-
- 17 Jun 90 V0.2 Percentage success rate added.
- Discovered system will guru if RAM:WORDS not present!!
- but not yet fixed.
- File output now has a table listing words found
- by length and initial letter.
- Program guru'd when finding Z words due to an incorrect
- array dimension, now fixed.
- Changed some ints to shorts but most vars still global.

-
- 19 Jun 90 V0.3 Added Matcher facility and suitable switch. [-m]

- Added code to avoid crash if data file not in place.
- Program now looks for data file in RAM: or on disk,
- and doesn't crash if not found!
-
- 14 Oct 90 V0.5 After testing, corrected wordlist file naming, now
- using WORDALL.DAT in RAM: or WORDLIST: (possibly
- requiring an assign)
- Added -z switch to clear contents of VALID. Omitting
- will append a new scan to previous scan.
- Corrected some titling. SEARCHING for a match or
- SCANNING for letter strings.
- Limit spares to '.' only. Some problems occurred when
- using other non-letter characters ($ gives major
- problems!).
- First test by someone other than me. Thanks stuart!
