Short: Helps to train vocabulary (german) Author: AR.Richter@tu-bs.de (Armin Richter) Uploader: AR Richter tu-bs de (Armin Richter) Type: misc/edu Requires: AmigaOS1.3, util/libs/pplib16.lha (powerpacker.library), util/libs/ReqToolsUsr.lha (reqtools.library), > 1MB RAM Architecture: m68k-amigaos Kurz: Vokabeltrainer This program helps you to train vocabulary Released 30.12.97 necessities: - needs powerpacker.library (util/libs/pplib16.lha) and reqtools.library (util/libs/ReqToolsUsr.lha) by Nico Francois et al. (not included!) - does not come with data (words) - totally in german, english translation on request features: - administrates multiple vocabulary/meaning tuples - number of words only limited by available RAM - number of meanings to one word only limited by available RAM (i.e. 1 word can have meanings that fill the rest of the RAM, 1000 meanings, for example) - automatic link between words with (exactly) the same meaning, every textually identical word is only kept once in memory - search function is able to find similiar words (percentage of similiarity can be given) - can ask vocabulary -> meaning, meaning -> vocabulary, both alternating, "in row" or "random choice" - can show simple "statistics" (text only), even during test - remembers six levels of "learning success" for each vocabulary AND each meaning, number of correct answers to a word is saved with vocabulary - comes with program source - GUI, totally supporting keyboard, font-sensitive (well, most of the time :-)) - runs on WB or on own screen - comes with executables for 68000 and 68020/68881 - datafiles are optionally packed with powerpacker.library disadvantages: - files are not in clear text, so they cannot be edited with a normal editor - uses lists, so really huge databases might cause slow search operation - packing function needs quite some extra RAM - modal dialogs, no multithreading - unspectacular GUI - quite old, so no special > 2.0 features (except from features in reqtools.library and button mapping, of course) comments: - does not use MUI - written with M2Amiga (Modula-2)
