edit: on further thought, since there's no drop-down menu (the screen becomes the menu), maybe that's where the cursor must begin.

Ok here's a newer version that supports new text formats,lol
anyways install the pet, then install sakura, open sakura and right click on the desktop, set you font size, color etc. This will work with any command line application, Sakura is a great terminal, you can also change the font while running wordgrinder.

To Start:
Open Sakura and Just type wordgrinder and hit enter and it will start.
now right click on the screen and you'll have lots of sakura options :)

How do I get to the mainmenu for wordgrinder and how do I save what I have done?

I am using ov-precise5.2.60

Thanks

Double-tap the 'esc' key or hit alt+m works for me.

Wordgrinder

#23 Post by slavvo67 »

It booted to a larger window than my little screen in UpUp Precise. No big deal, just a note. Wordgrinder brings me back to the early 90's, when I used a database program in MS Dos that had similar aspects. Does anyone know of a database program in puppy that runs similar to the Wordgrinder program out of terminal?

Anyway, I lose focus. Nice little program.

Wordgrinder 4 is ready.

New features:

- new, smaller file format.
- OpenDocument import and export.
- A proper Windows version and installer.
- command line tools for converting documents to/from WordGrinder.
- many bugfixes.


The author was good enough to send me a preview but some of the dependencies have caught me out.

Code: Select all

Lua error: [string "src/lua/_prologue.lua"]:8: module 'lfs' " )
But the new features sound good so I'll wait for the official release.

under ibus-hangul, wordgrinder can register texts in Hangul (=Korean) mode in the console!

how to print them with success with Cups?

I did save the file as test.txt

with the commando line command in console
lp -d fritz.box test.txt
the printer did print a paper page with the info:
WordGrinder dumpfile v2: this is not a text file!
xuVio[/qote]

if I save in wordgrinder without some extension, wordgrinder adds the extension
wg probably the short name for WordGrinder.

cups accept also that command with the new extension but print only a lot of blank pages and you must interrupt it manually.

fritz.box is a special name: it is the name dedicated by the software from the most usual German IAD for USB connected printer accessible by all client of the local network of the home phone ans small communication system
