To install Recall it! you need Common Lisp environment such as clisp or sbcl (I run it on clisp) with installed ASDF. See this link to know how to install and configure ASDF. Also you need cl-gtk2 and cl-fad installed.
Simply copy directory with Recall it! in directory with ASDF system definitions
and run following command in lisp environment:
> (asdf:load-system :recall-it)
and then
> (recall-it:run) to run it
You can write your dictionary in one of the following forms:
Simplified form:
Empty string
firstword1 - secondword1
firstword2 - secondword2
{
firstword31 - secondword31
firstword32 - secondword32
}
.....
firstwordn - secondwordn
<New Line>
Complicated form (obsolete)
%
firstword11 - secondword11
firstword12 - secondword12
.....
%
firstword21 - secondword21
firstword21 - secondword21
.....
firstwordn(m-1) - secondwordn(m-1)
firstwordnm - secondwordnm
%
<New Line>
As you can see, with both complicated and simplified forms you can
separate words into
groups. Each group will be shown in test window at once.
So with the given example you will get something like this:
It can be very useful for studying things like English irregular
verbs
Nothing to say here. You just choose a dictionary you need, select which word in pair (first or second) will be a key and press "Start test" button.
