Subject: Apronyms 0.92 (OS X)
Changes in this version:
Fixed a bug with merging in new apronyms from the web site.
Changed the names of the main window and application menu from
'Acronyms' to 'Apronyms'
Description:
Apronyms allows you to view the apronyms from the Apronyms web site
(http://apronyms.com) without using the internet. You can also add
your own apronyms and either keep them for your own personal
enjoyment or submit them to be added to the web site. You can
download new and updated apronyms from the web site at any time,
without losing your own additions. If you want to share an apronym or
list of apronyms with a friend, you can export apronyms to a text
file.
Apronyms can be browsed in their alphabetic listings, category
listings, or through the very flexible search facility.
The 'Website' menu provides easy access to parts of the Apronyms web
site which may be useful when you're creating an apronym.
For the uninitialised, an apronym is an a propos acronym... one which
means something relevant to what it stands for. An example is MAC for
My Apple Computer. Apronyms are a popular form of word play and can
also be used as mnemonics. For more information, see
http://apronyms.com/apronyms.html
Apronyms runs on Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
For earlier versions of Mac OS X, there is only the simple Acronym
Checker, which can check an acronym for validity and submit it to the
web site. For more information on Apronyms or Acronym Checker, see

If you use Mac OS 9, use the ACRONYMS HyperCard stack instead -- see
