User can add/delete/modify words as much as he/she likes. SOO is not language spesific, so you can learn virtually any language as long as you have the words. :-) Colours are also configurable. 旼컴컴컴컴컴캠 � INSTALLING � 突袴袴袴袴袴暠 After you have unpacked the file to a proper directory, you have to run SOOCFG.EXE and configure all the necessary options. When you have started the SOOCFG, a menu will be shown to you and you are prompted to choose from four alternatives. In General Options you may choose if big and small letter differ, which language do you prefer SOO to use (english/finnish) and the default quicksave file (unless you haven't loaded a file with another name), where all the words you input are put to if you press F2 (quicksave) in input menu. All the colors are configurable and the best combination is up to you, try different colours and see what pleases you eyes the most. Version information will only show the version number, compilation date and copyright notices. When you are satisfied with the configurations, you can simply Quit. You are asked if you wish to save the changes or abandon them. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴캠 � USING SOFTWARE � 突袴袴袴袴袴袴袴暠 What can one do with SOO? SOO is designed as a multilingual "glossary teacher". SOO is not restricted to specific languages. The system is based on "A-word" and "B-word". When SOO is started a menu is shown, which shows the commands to manipulate words: �袴袴 Soo - Main menu 袴袴� � � � 1. Examination � � 2. Input � � 3. Load � � 4. Save � � 5. Directory � � 6. Change word � � 7. Delete file � � 8. Flush memory � � 9. Quit � � � 훤袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� As you start the SOO, you must first load or input a wordlist to the memory. This is done with Load -command. After you have loaded the words you may edit the words and add new words. After modific- ations file can be saved again. Other facilities are included, such as possibility to delete a file, flush the memory (deletes all words from memory) and have a look at the current Directory. Examination: Tests your skills by giving a word and asking the equivalent word from the user. When you choose this option the pogram asks you a log-file where all the incompetent words are written (the words which you did not know or wrote incorrectly). Just press Enter if you don't want a log-file. After the logfile creation, you are asked if the incompetent words are to be asked later again. The last question concerns the asking direction, should it be from A to B or vice versa. After the questioning ends, you will see a window showing the amount of right answers and a grade, which is calculated by divisioning the number of right answers by total number of words (a strict high school system). Input: This command is used to feed words to the wordlist. The screen shows current A-word, current B-word and previous A-word and B-word. Just enter the word as A-word and the foreign language equivalent as B-word or vice versa. You can move in the wordlist with up/down arrows, do a Quicksave with F2 (this saves words to the default quicksave-file which you have defined in the configuration or to the file you have loaded lately (unless you have used flush memory)) and exit the Input with ESC or ENTER. Load: This command loads a wordlist into the machines memory, where you can edit the wordlist and/or do an Examination. After you have entered the filename you wish to be loaded, SOO displays how many wordpairs were loaded. This also changes the quicksave filename to correspond the current file. If the file size exceeds 500 wordpairs the rest will be ignored. Save: Saves the words into a filename you have entered and shows how many wordpairs were saved. Directory: Shows all files and their sizes, dates and times in your current directory. Change word: When you have selected this command, SOO presents you a list of words which you may change. Then you may select the word you want to change and press ENTER on the selected word. Just substitute the old one with the new one and press ENTER. After you have done all modifications, just press ESC. Delete file: This command deletes a file you have selected. WARNING: File will be deleted permanently and you won't be able to recover it. Flush memory: This erases all possible words from the memory so that new ones can be entered. (Remember to save them first ;-) Quit: Name says it all, doesn't it? ;-) 旼컴컴컴컴� � SUPPORT � 突袴袴袴袴� SOO is supported by Ecto-Group. Ecto-Group members are: Toni M꼧tt�, Ere Maijala and Kristo Airinen.
