GeoMaker Software is proud to announce the availability of its
newest product: HY-PHEN-EX. HY-PHEN-EX is a hyphenation expert that
is packaged as a C language function.
HY-PHEN-EX is useful in any program that formats English language
text. When filling lines of text it is frequently desirable to
divide a word between the end of one line and the beginning of the
next.
If a word is to be divided between two lines, the division
may not be arbitrary. A division such as `scu-lpture' looks
wrong and and is more difficult to read. Some particularly bad
divisions can change the basic sense of a word, such as
`therapist' becoming `the-rapist'.
HY-PHEN-EX is an expert system having over 4800 rules to identify the
places where a word may correctly be divided between lines. It also
ranks the desirability of the places. It will suggest com-mendable
as preferable to commend-able.
This version of HY-PHEN-EX is for American English.
HY-PHEN-EX comes with full C language source and is compatible with
most C compilers. HY-PHEN-EX is distributed on MS-DOS floppy disks,
but is usable in most environments that have a C compiler.
HY-PHEN-EX is available for $89 from GeoMaker Software. GeoMaker
