Update v2.3, July 2016 - This is a Reader to 'Webster's Unabridged English Dictionary', a free eBook published by Project Gutenberg (www.gutenberg.net). The 28Mb plain text eBook dictionary is fully comprehensive and has over 100,000 entries, the program makes it easy to quickly access all of them and offers a few other things as well... Spell checker (by Rde with permission and my thanks) (new) Crossword helper (new) Random word selector Word game (new) Dictionary Search Auto Synonym listing (where available e.g. similar words) Auto definition word listing (e.g. unique words in definition) Rolodex styled GUI 2.1.2 Anagram helper (new)(with thanks to Robert Rayment) Conundrum helper (new) Update to word game The word game has 3 levels, level 1 is free but the other 2 must be earned. 1. Match a word to its definition to collect points and letters. 2. Make a word from letters won in part 1 to collect more points. 3. Solve a conundrum to collect even more points. The challenge is to get at least 300 points. Many thanks to Christine Lear who helped design game play and test the game. 2.2 History form (update) History Remove Duplicate words (re-write) Session History (new)(thanks to George) Anagram form (update)(thanks to Lorin) clsTextReader (bug fix) General program improvements 2.3 Earmarking (new) Missing words (new) Toolbar (new) History (update - includes back & forward buttons) Preferences (update) Help (update) General code improvements Compile for best performance! Help file included, F1 Due to the data, this is quite a big download, 11Mb. Note: project requires reference to MemAPIs.tlb (included), you may need to copy this to Sys32 etc before loading or just add it directly via Project>References, click Browse and select MemAPIs.tlb from app folder. This ref is needed to run Rde's amazing Spell Checker. p.s. Spell checker uses different data to main dictionary, some words will be in one file and not the other et vice-versa. Data taken from 1913 version of 'Webster's Unabridged English Dictionary' last updated by Project Gutenberg in 2014... e.g. there can be no guarantee that the word one is after actually exists in the dictionary or spell checker data files. Huge thanks to Project Gutenberg for this awesome free eBook dictionary. Thanks for looking in... Happy Coding Dave :)
