EdilAna is an interactive anagram generator originally developed in
the good old Amiga 1.3 days.
It is a shell program basically intended to make anagrams
of your own name, or a friend's.

This tool is now released for OS4 without documentation
(with the exception of these notes and of the cryptic inline help)
An English wordlist file and localization were recently added;
at its beginning EdilAna was an italian anagram generator and some
features (radixes, noun truncation) do not apply so well to other languages.

The most simple usage is like this:

EdilAna John Doe

so that you can start typing in its interactive CLI,
adding and removing letters. Please, type ':' and press RETURN key to get some
help.

You can overwrite the default dictionary with:

EdilAna Jay Miner -voc yourwordlistfile

Type 'EdilAna ?' for other options.
Default dictionaries are stored in 'lemmari/' drawer.

You can change some preferences in EdilAna.cfg
(Italian users may probably set TRUNCANDY to 1 here
and check this outdated page http://members.ferrara.linux.it/calicant/edilana/)

Anagrams are saved ('=' command) in EdilAna.log
Set the base name with '\' command:

\Name Surname

'?' command shows candidate words.
')' to quit...

Have fun!
