ANAGRAM GENIUS ARRIVES ON THE PC

After six years of development what is probably the world's most
sophisticated anagram generator has finally been ported to a mass-market
platform: Microsoft Windows.

This highly unusual software takes the names of your friends, employers and
competitors and transforms them in ways you would never believe. It
rearranges the letters and uses powerful Artificial Intelligence
techniques to say things that are weird, wonderful (and sometimes
extremely insulting!)

For example:

** You want to do some research into fundamental philosophy. Type
   in "The meaning of life" and out comes (along with many others)
   "The fine game of nil".

** Your big commercial rival is "Acorn Computers", tell the
   software its a business and put it in Satire mode and
   out comes "Crap on customer" and "Crap to consumer"!

** Type in "President William Clinton" and tell the software he
   is male, a politician and you want satirical anagrams and
   it says he is a "Nice limp wild total sinner".

** Type in "The best things in life are free" and it produces
   "Nail-biting refreshes the feet": it is free after all (although
   you may need to pay for some yoga lessons first!)

** Type in "The end of the world is nigh!" and get
   "Down this hole, frightened".

There are many many more examples, buy the software and you can add to them
with (amongst others) your name, the names of your friends and colleagues,
your employer, acquaintances, commercial rivals etc. etc.

  (Thanks to Donald L. Holmes for finding the last two examples).

CORRESPONDENCE FROM EXISTING OWNERS OF ANAGRAM GENIUS

* Your latest version of Anagram Genius defies superlatives! What
  a fantastic and fascinating creation!

* One friend turned out to be an anagram of "recombined anus", another
  "I'm a jolly anarchic poker" and my wife "And in herself weary";
  all of which were appropriate. My yuppy boss found out her name was
  an anagram of "She'll engineer gain" which she thought appropriate.

* Terrific! It has brought me and my friends considerable
  entertainment.

* I was interested to note that an anagram of Virginia Bottomley
  "I'm an evil Tory bigot" made it into the national press - I'd
  spotted that one a year earlier using the original version of
  Anagram Genius!

* May I congratulate you on an excellent product.

* There isn't anything I don't like about it ... I think you have
  a hit!

* It is much better and more sophisticated than I could imagine.

* The program is great and I am amazing my friends with it.

* Anagram Genius is wonderful.

  plus many many others.

(All quotes can be proven genuine on request. Some of the quotes refer to
'Supergram', the name of the same software on the Acorn Archimedes. To
avoid confusion 'Anagram Genius' was substituted into these examples.)

SELECTED FEATURES OF THE LATEST VERSION

* Choice between American or British English. The default is
  automatically selected from the computer's country code.

* 'Satire' flag for wildly satirical anagrams, 'Flattery' flag for
  flattering anagrams. 'Normal' flag for no good or bad bias.

* 'Vulgar words' flag allows or censors coarse or obscene language.
  (When not censored and combined with the 'Satire' flag these words
  are considered highly desirable!)

* Limit the number of anagrams to keep. Keep only anagrams scoring
  above a certain score. Limit the number of words in the found
  anagrams.

* Describe the text by gender, political, computer or business
  associations. Describe the text in detail by specifying the
  relevance of individual words. Your description is used by the
  artificial intelligence routines to find relevant and meaningful
  anagrams for that subject.

* Include interjections, dropped 'H' words ("'ello", "'orrible" etc.)
  and others. Penalise anagrams for not being a good mix of the
  initial text.

* Automatic intelligent default punctuation and choice of word-order
  for each anagram which is completely overridable if you so choose.

* Print or save out reports, word lists and anagrams. Fully-featured
  print-preview option.

* All anagrams are given a score and sorted into order. For texts
  which contain many anagrams you only need look at the best ones.

* The powerful back-end works hand-in-hand with an excellent user
  interface which is both logical and powerful. The process of
  finding anagrams is divided into four conceptually clear stages.
  The stages can be flicked between and the computer's choices
  overridden or left as you choose. At all times you are in control.

* It can deal with short texts of just a few letters or long
  texts of thirty letters or more which would choke any other
  software. Most texts are processed in just a few seconds but
  a powerful scheduling algorithm keeps the search within reasonable
  timescales no matter how massive its task.

*** All for just 19.99 pounds sterling! ***
