#WordMake 0.2: Dictionary Maker based on text files input
#Takes as input raw text files an parses them as dictionary files
#Features: 
#		Select as many raw texts as you like
#		Choose words between a specified long
#		Choose an output File		 	
#		Sorts all the words, makes them lowercase and unique

#That's all I was looking in order 		
#to make a better Spanish Dictionary		
#If you find it useful, drop me a line and if 
#you want send me your dictionary

#Date (Start of the Project): 25-05-00
#Last Modified: 27-05-00
#BugFixes: 
#From 0.1 max and min command line parameters where ignored because of a mistype in variables.
#Changes: 
#From 0.1 Now also accepts a hole directory where all the text files to be processed are.
#Usage: ./wordmake.pl TEXT_FILE_1 TEXT_FILE_2 ... TEXT_FILE_N [-o OUTPUT_FILE] [-min MIN_WORD_LENGTH] [-max MAX_WORD_LENGTH] [-txtdir DIR_WHERE_TXTs_ARE]
#Defaults... May be changed in the command line
