Hi everyone, Has anyone made a sowpods (or Collins) file for zyzzyva with definitions? If not, I can interleave owl-lwl.txt with sowpods.txt easily enough, but...
I can do something for this eventually, but I'm waiting for the smoke to clear re: Collins/Chambers. Some of the Australian players had a program on their PDAs...
I'm trying to install Zyzzyva 0.14.1 on a secondhand laptop running SuSE Linux 8.2 and KDE 3.1. I compiled Qt 4.1.4 with no error messages, and I used `qmake'...
... I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but it'll work if each time you compile Zyzzyva you do this in your bin directory: sudo cp libzyzzyva.so.0.14.1...

... Hi Michael, I was also using this trick briefly, but then I looked through the source code again, and noticed that you have a target called "staticlib" in...
Hi Michael, I've been looking at the possibility of creating an RPM of zyzzyva. One of the issues that came up is the location of the "data" directory, which...
... Yep, that's right... it works that way so that after installed on Windows or Mac OS X, or built in-place on Linux, the data directory can be found. But...

How do you: 1) Show the anagrams in a list of -IS words which DO NOT end in IS? It seems the only way is to check manually. 2)Find all 8l words worth between...
... Unfortunately the answer to all of these questions is "it's not implemented yet". There's no technical reason why they can't be done, it's just that I...

... You can do even better than that. Try doing an anagram search on [AEIOU][AEIOU][AEIOU][AEIOU]??? That will yield all the four (or more) vowel 7s. -- Paul...
