Lojban Flashcard program ------------------------ Robert J. Chassell 8 October 1997 This distribution contains a Lojban Flashcard program and accompanying files that works with specially formatted Lojban gismu lists. It could be modifed to work with cmavo as well as gismu, but I have not done this. The Emacs Lisp files contain documentation within them. Please read them! Contents of this distribution ----------------------------- README This file. lojban-flashcard.el The Emacs Lisp Flashcard program. Documentation is in the file. This is the program you are likely to use. format-gismu-list.el Tools to format entries in the 1994 English-Lojban list, `engdict.gis' so that they fit into 80 columns. This distribution contains already formatted files, so you will not need this program until a new gismu list is issued. lojban-lookup.el A program to look up Lojban in a gismu list. I have not looked at this since 1994 and do not know if it works with any of the current formats. You may have to modify this yourself to get it to work again. basic-words A preformatted list of basic words, ready to work with the lojban-flashcard program. The file is 43kb long. g1 ... g10 Ten preformatted lists of gismu, covering the complete list in alphabetical order. Each file is nearly 190kb long and may take some time to load. lojban.html An already written Web page that provides the Lojban Web page at http://xiron.pc.helsinki.fi/lojban/ and the Lojban FTP site at ftp://ftp.access.digex.net/pub/access/lojbab plus a short cut to the online "Complete Lojban Language". You can obtain a complete (not specially formatted) gismu list from the Web sites. You can also obtain a cmavo list and much other material. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; How to use the flashcard program ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Read the documentation at the beginning of lojban-flashcard.el This file restates what you should read there ... :) Load the `lojban-flashcard.el' file; type: M-x load-file RET lojban-flashcard.el RET To start the program, type: M-x flashcard The program will ask you for the name of a file; I suggest you start with `basic-words'. Be sure to write the full, correct path. On a slow machine, startup is slow. To quit, type: q ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; The size of the gzip'd tar file containing this distribution is 543,604 bytes.
