ABBREVW is a menu-oriented Windows application to view and maintain a  list
of  abbrevations.  The  acronyms  may  be  up  to  7  characters  long, the
explanation can be any text up to 69 characters.

It shows one or more sorted abbrevation lists, allows you to insert, change
or delete entries and search for duplicates. You can also merge two or more
abbrevation lists into  a  single  one.  The  program  interface  is  quite
intuitive.

The program saves its last used settings in a file named ABBREVW.SET, so it
can  automatically open the same abbrevation file windows the next time you
start it. The setting file is normally stored in the same directory as  the
executable  program,  but  you  can  specify  a  separate directory for the
setting file in a DOS environment  variable  with  the  name  SETTING.  The
easiest  way  to  do  this,  is  to  include  a  line like this one in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
  SET SETTING=C:\DATA

A sample abbrevation datafile is distributed with the program as SAMPLE.ABB.

To compile the source file, you wil need some units from my  JRFPAS  Pascal
routine  library,  which  can  be  downloaded  from  the  Internet  address
mentioned above.
