... Sweet. I have long had an idea for a scheme such as this bubbling in the back of my mind but never actually gotten off my lazy butt to find a web service...
One question I had was: what happens if you don't have an Internet connection? e.g. you are using Zyzzyva on a laptop that isn't connected to wireless at the...
This happens to me with versions 2.0.2 and 2.0.5 on my eeepc. I get a segmentation fault as soon as a file dialog box appears. I did try to install 1.0.6 to...
... Zyzzyva only marks all responses as missed if you actually entered ALL the correct responses, but also provided an incorrect response. The reason for...
... Dang it! I meant to fix this within the hour, but I guess I didn't make it. :-) I appreciate the feedback, and this is something I've been meaning to fix...
I just found this excellent interactive tutorial by Elliott Richards and thought I would pass it on. If the Zyzzyva help documentation about the cardbox system...
Christopher Sykes sent me an interesting suggestion for more focused study. He suggested the ability to search for only "root words"; that is, words that are...
... Hi Michael, I'm very interested in your root-word lists[*] and would be interested in more details on how you generated your list. ... same information...
... You can see the Perl one-liner I used in the comments to the bug: http://pietdepsi.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=331 Or actually, it's so short that I'll just...
... Thanks for sharing that. I hadn't noticed that the original file actually mentions the <root> in the definition of inflected forms. That is awfully...
... Q 1: I'm running Zyzz on a Mandriva Linux machine which conveniently has sqlite installed. However it doesn't recognize the .db file: [gvc@tuvok...
... Zyzzyva 2.0.5 uses Qt 4.3.2, which uses sqlite 3.x. sqlite3 databases can't be read by sqlite2, so you'll need an sqlite3 client to access the Zyzzyva...
... In this case, BE is the root of AM, but AX is not the root of AXE. AX and AXE are related words (one is defined in terms of the other), while AM is an...
Does anyone know of any way to generate, say, a list of all the 7s and 8s not in your cardbox, without doing unholy things to your .db files? Thanks Chris Lipe...
Hi, I have been doing cardbox quizzes in Anagrams+Hooks, and I'm thinking of changing to Anagrams. I'd like to continue from the cardbox levels that I have...
Prompted by Chris Lipe's recent question, I'd like to take a look at what sort of useful data can be extracted from the cardbox. Would some heavy zyzzyva users...
Thanks Chris, that is simpler than I thought! What about if I want to add into, rather than overwrite, my existing Anagrams.db ? I have some Anagram cardboxes...
I suppose it might be interesting, if you got a bunch of cardboxes, if there are patterns with what words give people difficulty. It might also be interesting...
I can't think of a way to do it that doesn't involve using the SQL Lite Database Browser tool (google it). You'll need to export the questions table from one...
As one who has used the database browser *extensively* to overcome the limitations of the Zyzzyva GUI, I'd say, no, there's no easier way. The actual name of...
Hi Michael, Now I'm having problems. McAfee keeps finding a trojan horse named Artemis attached to 2.0.5. We have upgraded to 5, since we reported no problems...
switched computers, I copied my entire zyzzyva file over. i tried to switch the data folder or whatever as was suggested in the FAQ but its not working. I...
Hi Dave. Here's some inexpertness from me: Sounds like the file you mention is indeed your card box. In my case, I just use the anagrams card box, and this...
Hmmm , ok thanks for the tip Trev, unfortunately I did reinstall it, and it did create a data file (good start)... But on my old computer the cardbox was in...
Quick checklist: 1) With Zyzzyva open, go to Edit|Preferences, and select General in the left-hand list. Does the Lexicon panel show "CSW" in boldface? If not,...
Now I'm thinking two things: (1) Start up a new card box under the new Zyzzyva, save it, and then search your C: drive for where the hell it is, and replace...
The default font size for this program was much to small for my eyes. I then changed all five rows to 72. Now it is way to big. I was able to gain access to...
Assuming you can see them, click EDIT, Preferences, FONTS. Then TAB , TAB, ENTER, TAB, TAB, UP 13 or 15 times (for 8 or 10 point respectively), TAB 5 times...
