Comma Separated ValuesOriginally Posted by Isaac Thomas Riley
It's a plain-text file format which has rows of information with several values on each line. There are commas in between the items on each line. This format is understood by all spreadsheet programs and is relatively easy to process if you write your own software.

you have "Mono" installed ???
then this is NOT a microsoft Windows install but a Linux or Apple install using WINE to run it
mono is the port of Microsoft's patented and copyrighted C# -- aka Dot Net

it looks to need the microsoft C# port of GTK ( Gimp Tool Kit)

Yes, there was requests for it to run cross-platform, so I reworked the UI to use GTK. It should run just fine on .NET, though, as long as you have the necessary GTK dlls, which are included in the zip.
I do have mono installed, but I also have gtk installed as well.
Oh, out of curiosity, what are you going to use it for?
I'm trying to develop words for one of four conlangs I'm planning for my novel.
Cool! What do you use for storing the words?
Let me know if you have any questions or need help doing something in WordBuilder.
Can anyone give testament to how diverse the creations of this system can be? Does it tend to give everything in the classic middle-european/tolkein fantasy style or does it branch out into other cultures and forms?
Thanks!

You can generate any kind of words/names - one way I've seen it used is to use lists of words or stems that can be combined in different ways. That'll give you words or names with a very specific feel, depending on your word lists. Another way is to build your token sets to create syllables, and then have the rules create your words from one to four syllables. If you look around on the blog at whee.dk, you'll find a few posts on Esolanean, a conlang I was working on back when.
