What is gretools?
Gretools is a collection of programs which use the
Barron's wordlist to help the user improve their vocabulary.
The word list is adapted from Sungwoo Park's wordlist found
here.
It has about 4000 words.
Why would I want to use gretools?
Gretools is a fun way to learn new words. It consists of
an gtk-based synonym quizzing program (gresyns) and a
word-guessing game (greinverse) among others.
Features include automatically remembering the words
on which you erred and applying a filter to restrict wordspace
to practice on. It is particularly useful if you are preparing for
word tests. I used gretools almost exclusively in my preparation
for the GRE verbal test and scored 750/800 :-)
A stripped down version (gresyns-html, included in the
gretools package) of the gresyns synonyms tool has an
online interface.
What OSes does gretools run on?
gretools should build and run on any Unix/Linux system. It requires
only the gtk library to build.
