yukata 6 kentn Good digging, Kent. It is, of course, not a
foreign word, but an English word for a Japanese piece of clothing. The
foreign word is not written in the Roman alphabet. You're up, Kent.

BTW I know there are a couple of AWK programs out there associated
with this game. I wrote one the other day. It's for the person
running the game. He enters all the recent guesses, and they are scored
and written to two files, 6.tmp and letter.match. 6.tmp is created
fresh with each new session, while letter.match is appended to. That
way 6.tmp can be read into a response.
If anyone would like a copy of this program, let me know. Could
those of you who've written other scripts enlighten me (if the info
isn't proprietary, that is) as to what they do?

aruba, your program sounds like what you get when you run my do.lm
script which runs /u/srw/match.awk. (I called my temp results file
'mat' though). I wouldn't mind seeing yours. I dinked around with my
script for a while and got it to set the perms on letter.match
automatically, which for me was pretty cool (though I'm sure it doesn't
impress the hackers here). Anyway, having everything in one program
would be neat.
Rane, that was a darn tough word to find! Good choice.

I'll mail you a copy, Kent. It doesn't set the perms, but I think
they default to 644, don't they? (rw-r--r--)

Re: #77. "yukata" is both an English word and a Japanese word. An
illiterate Japanese person knows the word but has no idea what script it's
written in. y-u-k-a-t-a is one realization of a mental sign that has
multiple realizations. The word itself is a social token which does not
concretely exist, either in written or spoken form. In that sense, then,
if you wish to say that yukata is not also a Japanese word, you must say
that we're not guessing words, at all, but rather realizations of words.
(The nitpicking linguist will crawl away now.)

yukata is an English *written* word, which I should have included. It
attempts (but, of course fails), when pronounced in English, to imitate
a spoken Japanese word, with the same meaning. I am rather sure that if
I said it to a Japanese, they would look puzzled as to what I mean,
since I would have the wrong inflections, which are very important in
Japanese. But, hey brighn and kimi, while you are here, how about
joining in the game?
Please

(I think the perms on a file you create depend on your umask setting.
For me that doesn't result in a 644 perm setting. I suspect for some
other people that's also the case. So...I made my script set the
perms on letter.match to 644 if they weren't already.)
