Word Hound Version 1.25 Upgrade
-------------------------------

NOTE : It is assumed that you already have a copy of Word Hound (version
1.01 or higher). If you do not already have this installed you can obtain
it either from many PD libraries, or direct from me. To obtain from me
send 5 formatted (800k) (or 3 x 1.6M formatted) discs plus 50 pence
for return p&p (or two first class samps).

NOTE : As from version 1.21, Word Hound is no longer shareware. This means
that it can only be used by registered Word Hound users. You may not
distibute this version to other (non registered) users.

This upgrade contains 2 archives :

  WH125      Application archive. Copy the content of this archive into
             your Word Hound application directory.


  WHExtras   Word Hound Extras Collection of tools. Now contains 6 tools
             (see documentation for details).


Please make sure you read the new end user licence for version 1.21. This
is located in Appendix B of the user guide (text version in the file !Licence
inside the Docs directory in the WH121 archive).


Word Hound v1.25 Release Notes
==============================


Window Iconisation
------------------

Please note that the documentation states that under Risc OS 3 you can use the
iconisation feature on Word Hound's "Enter" window when using the Impression
hotlink. Due to a bug (thought to be either in Acorn's Pinboard module or
the Risc OS Window manager) this is now not advised, as it can cause the
computer to hang under two conditions :

     1) If you try to bring the iconbar to the front of the screen
        (Shift-F12)

     2) Entering values into some of the icons in Impression's "Edit Style"
        window can cause the computer to enter an infinite loop.

Please note: These two ONLY happen when the "Enter" window is iconised, and
is NOT due to a bug in Word Hound.



Word Hound Tools Collection
---------------------------

Please note that when using the tools collection, ensure that all index items
are lower case, currently the tools do not force lower case index items, and
Word Hound ignores any upper case index items.

When creating new data suites and adding entries to the 'SetUp' file, be
careful when assigning a 'Data Suite Type' number. Generally it is best to
assign it a type of '0', care should be taken assigning numbers '1' and in
particular '2' as this can cause the program to crash.


Differences between version 1.17 and version 1.25
-------------------------------------------------

� The 'Synonym Length' search (allows searches for synonyms of specified
  length, useful for crosswords).

� The return of 3D templates (for users of Risc-OS 3.1).

� Lots of internal changes and bug fixes.

� Total revamp of the documentation.

� Overhaul of Tools Collection (now 6 tools as opposed to 4). Makes life
  easier for maintaining dictionary data suites.

� Support for interactive help.

� Support for Ovation/OvationPro.


NOTE:

You will need a copy of ArcFS (or SparkFS) to read the files on this disc,
a read only version of ArcFS is available on most magazine cover discs. A
copy could not be placed on this disc due to lack of space.
