squeeze
Hey Paul, any chance you would consider creating links from your letter5match,
letter6match, and letter7match files, so that I can look at them by using the
more common names? I wrote a little script to view them under the usual
names, is why I ask. No big deal if you don't want to - it would just help
me out. The commands you'd have to enter are:
ln letter5match letter.match5
ln letter6match letter.match
ln letter7match letter.match7
(I'm certainly not making any judgements on the superiority of the old names
- yours look prettier, frankly.) If you run those commands, you can edit the
files under your names, but they'll be visible under the other names too.
Oh - put a ! in front of those commands if you run them from within Picospan.

I think I have the links mentioned in 412 setup right.
Speaking of scripts, anybody got one to read answers, enter them in
picospan and append them to the file? It's not hard, but seems cumbersome.

Well, I have a few scripts set up which use some code by others (that
is, srw's awk script for scoring) to help enter answers, score them,
append them to a file, and keep a file of the most current guesses
& results for entry into a cf response. See ~kentn/do.lm7 for the
7-letter version, and ~kentn/do.lm or ~kentn/do.lmx for a 6-letter
version (the latter is an experimental version with a few more features,
such as prompting you to rename or delete an old answers file). They
all assume the "usual names" Mark mentions in resp. 412 above. Other
people may have other scripts, too.

Thanks Paul. There was already a file in your directory called letter.match,
so the link for the six-letter file didn't work right. Do this to fix that:
rm letter.match
ln letter6match letter.match

zoonomy 7 (kentn) *** *** ***
I just checked and found out that the letter.match games are in the
Puzzle and Language conferences. This could partly explain "where
has everyone gone".

It is played equally well from language or puzzle - that's what it
means to be linked.

Okay, sorry for the wait. I'm thinking of a seven-letter word,
and it's not
zoonomy 0 (lastword)
A list of results for guesses on the current word may be found in
the file ~kentn/letter.match7
