AmosAgram by Keith Clatworthy

This is the AMOS version of my program originally written using
Microsoft QuickBasic on an IBM PC Clone (KCS PC Power Board actually).

The purpose of the program is to solve anagrams.

It expects to find it's dictionary as RAM:AMOS.DIC. The file AMOS.DIC
gets copied to RAM: automatically when booting from the floppy.

On the PC it can scan 132,000 words in just ten to eleven minutes!
Amos isn't nearly that fast  -  yet. As soon as I can purchase a copy
of the AMOS compiler I will be producing a complied version and that should
be quite fast.

I will probably be issuing alternative dictionaries in the fullness of time.
(If I get asked by enough people).
The dictionary supplied contains 33,146 words. I have a master dictionary
of 132,000 words !!! . The reason for the limited dictionary size is
due to the fact that I wrote the program to read the dictionary from
memory in an attempt to speed it up. Reading from floppy disk is painfully
slow.  For the same reason I would recommend that you write your output
files to RAM: too.
