{ ANAGRAM. --------------------------------------------------------------------
Rapha‰l Vanney, 01/93
Purpose : Reads a list of Words 4 to 10 Characters long from a File
named 'LIST.#1', outputs a list of anagrams founds in a
specified format to a File named 'ANAGRAM.RES'.
Note : I commented-out the source using a langage, say English, which
I'm not Really fluent in ; please forgive mistakes.

Okay, this is my entry For the 'anagram contest' !
The few things I'd like to point-out about it :
. I chosed to use OOP, in contrast to seeking speed. I wouldn't say my
Program is Really slow (7.25 secs on my 386-33), but speed was not my
first concern.
. It fully Uses one of the interresting points of OOP in TP, i.e.
reusability, through inheritance,
. When a Word (A) has been found to be an anagram of another (B), the
Program never searches again For the anagrams of (A) ; this
highly reduces computing time... but I believe anybody does the same.
. I also quite like the assembly langage Function 'AreAnagrams'.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Words list is stored in memory in the following maner :
. A collection (say, a list) of the Words,
. Within this list, anagrams are chained as a list
. Each Word knows the first and the next of its anagrams
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the sake of speed, I did something I'm quite ashamed of ; but it
saves 32% of execution time, so...
The usual way to access element #i of a TCollection is to call Function At
with parameter i (i.e. At(i)) ; there is also another way, which is not Really
clean, but which I chosed to use : access it directly through Items^[i].
