This is a program that I created from a brilliant idea: why not have a program which allows you to enter a short sentence and then counts the vowels in it. It counts the vowels in what is entered and then displays statistics of what it finds together with the sentence minus vowels. If anyone can find a valid use for this program I would really like to know about it. To discover why I created Vowel Count click @{"here" link part5}. If you want to run it you'll want to know the @{"system requirements" link part2}. Or jump straight to @{"usage" link part4} for instructions on how to access the program. @{"Return to contents" link main} @endnode @node part2 "System Requirements" @{b}@{u}Minimum system required (this is untested):@{uu}@{ub} An Amiga, 60Kb RAM, Workbench 2.05+ @{b}@{u}Recommended system:@{uu}@{ub} Amiga1200, 100Kb RAM free, Workbench 3.0+ @{b}@{u}Development system:@{uu}@{ub} @{b}Hardware@{ub} Amiga1260T in Power Tower, Blizzard 1260 with 16Mb RAM, 6.4Gb hard disk, Microvitec Multiscan monitor, 2Gb JAZ2 drive. @{b}Software@{ub} Workbench 3.0, StormC3.0, Enforcer @{"Return to contents" link main} @endnode @node part3 "Legal" This program is Emailware. In the event that you find this program useful, send me an email. It is freely distributable and no profit should be made from it. Vowel Count is provided 'as is' and the author cannot be held responsible for any damage occurred as a result of running this program. (I would hope that none of my programs cause any damage). The latest version of this legal section supersedes any previous versions. Vowel Count is (C) Copyright DWM Productions ie. Donald W Millican The Vowel Count code is copyright and its code and/or design cannot be altered or used in full or in part. The whole program cannot be changed and redistributed without my consent. This document may be updated for any re-release but the legal section must remain unchanged. The program can be spread anywhere but I request that all the files be kept together including all of this document. @{"Return to contents" link main} @endnode @node part4 "How to use the program" When the program is run, a bewildering array of gadgets will appear. Click on the top gadget and enter some text then click on the button marked 'Calculate'. The top gadget will then clear and the lower ones fill with information. The bottom gadget shows the text entered with all vowels invisible. Wasn't that simple? @{"Return to contents" link main} @endnode @node part5 "Why did I create it?" I created this program because I wanted to learn Amiga Intuition and practice my C programming. Also because I couldn't think of a better idea. I learnt a lot from this program although that might not appear very believable if you have seen any of my other work. @{"Return to contents" link main} @endnode @node part6 "Author" Donald W Millican 83 Stonelaw Drive, Rutherglen, Glasgow, G73 3PA.

Deliberately simplistic interface. On Aminet as util/conv/EasyConvert.lha Also on website: http://amigacomputer.cjb.net/programs/easyconvert.html Calculator: A fully functional Calculator. On Aminet as util/misc/Calculator.lha Also on website: http://amigacomputer.cjb.net/programs/Calculator.html Quotes: A 'cookie' like program which loads in sayings from a file and randomly puts them together to make weird messages. Has been known to cause system crashes - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. On Aminet as util/wb/Quotes.lha Also on website: http://amigacomputer.cjb.net/programs/quotes.html Vowel Count: A silly program which counts the number of vowels in an entered string and then displays statistics of its findings and the string (minus vowels).
