Hi, I downloaded and installed Zyzzyva today. After a bit I realised I didn't have the right dictionary. I tried downloading the British list, but the page was...
... Yikes, I'm sorry about the trouble you've been having. By default Zyzzyva loads OWL2. To get it to use OSWI instead, click the Preferences button, select...
Sorry I forgot to enclose the error messages. I had to copy them out, as the file was too big to send. Kathy Note: forwarded message attached. Send instant...
Thanks for the very prompt reply Michael!! :) I have now sent the error pages as well. I'll also encolse them with theis email. Unfortunately, I don't even...
... Ah, I see... the first thing to try would probably be to delete the ISC zip file, then try starting Zyzzyva. Hopefully it will complain about a missing...
Hi Michael, Thanks for another speedy reply. I shall keep the information in case of any future problems. I decided to do a system restore to a few days...
I've released a new version of Zyzzyva, 1.0.1. Zyzzyva is a program for studying words, practicing anagramming, and adjudicating challenges. It runs on...
... I'm really pleased to see the cardbox quiz loads much quicker without the search specification. I've found a problem in another area though. When I...
I recently installed version 1.0.1 on my laptop, and now the "Quiz from List" feature is not working anymore for me when I right-click the list of Missed or...
I've just released Zyzzyva 1.0.2, a patch release that fixes the broken Quiz From List behavior. Thank you to everyone who pointed out the bug! I appreciate...
... Unfortunately this is a bug introduced in Zyzzyva 1.0.1. I'll be releasing a 1.0.2 version this weekend to fix it. Sorry about that! -- Michael W Thelen ...
How can you search for all the bingos hidden in a particular rack if, one or two of the letters are blanks? I am only able to introduce letters in the field....
From: "Mihai" <mvp18ro@...> ... Blanks are represented by question marks (?). You can also use * which will match with any number of unknown letters -...
... Ah, perhaps you are in the: Word->Anagrams menu option? That functionality does let you only type in letters, (though I don't really see why it shouldn't...
With Vista officially in the "consumer environment" now, and a decision looming on what OS to go with for the new computer I will be building in the next...
... We haven't tested Quackle in Vista, so I'd be interested to hear reports from the field too. I hope it works right away, but even if it doesn't, I don't...
... I agree with everything John said. It appears that Qt is Vista-ready, so hopefully just recompiling on Vista will work fine (if that is even necessary). ...
... Oh yeah, I should add that I don't have a Vista machine, and I'm not planning on spending any money on Vista myself. Unless they force us to switch to...
Would someone please explain how to set up a search for all of the 5- letter stems that take both RE- and -ER? I'm pretty sure that the basis of the search...
... Slightly off topic, I've been working on a Ruby library to let queries like that be expressed quickly and easily (and inefficiently, but computer time is...
... Here's a search that will find all the 5-letter words that can take both an RE- prefix and an -ER suffix. Please note that this only finds valid 5-letter...
... That's an interesting point, and interesting that there doesn't appear to be any simple way in zyzzyva to directly generate the list of non-word stems that...
Thanks, y'all. I 'spect I'll go low-tech on this one and simply add Carl's magical UNIX result to the text file resulting from the Z-search. Brett Lamont...
Hey Mihai. The lax parameter is used to include/not include words at the beginning and end of your probability search that have the same probability of that...
Thanks, it is all clear now. I know how probability works; I was just puzzled by that parameter and why I get more words than I should :) Mihai ... at ... same...
My preference in the options has been for alphagram display of the racks. However, I tried to change the preference to Random and it doesn't seem to work for...
Just checked mine and it seems to be working fine. I switched from my normal (alphagram) order to random, tried it on a quiz, and it worked with no problem....
