Mentat has become Freeware thanks to its author, Adrian - Sauron - Siemieniak,
who gently gave me the full archive comprising the sources and authorized me
to distribute his work as freeware on Aminet and my site. It's a big and useful
work and, I hope the Amiga community will be grateful to him. Alas, He is not
an Amiga user anymore so we have lost a good programmer. Good luck Adrian.
Programmers that are willing and feel able to improve the program can contact
me for the C sources of Mantat.
The distribution consists in 5 archives, One is Mentat itself the other four
are Mmentat Data dvided into four archives to easy the download:

Mentat.LHA
MentatData_a-d.LHA
MentatData_e-l.LHA
MentatData_m-r.LHA
MentatData_s-z.LHA.

To install Just unarchive the Mentat.LHA archive into your HD, a Mentat directory
will automatically be created, then unarchive the four data archives into the
Mentat directory. It takes a bit less than 25 MB of your HD space.

You only have to remember that Mentat will search for data files in "Mentat:"
directory, so you have to create assign for it in startup-sequence/user-startup
by adding a line similar to this:
C:Assign Mentat: <path where mentat dir is>

===============================
Follows the ORIGINAL README:

  Overview

    Mentat  is an english to english dictionary for Amiga computers
(with  a  bit  less then 60000 words), based on Longman Natural English
Dictionary.   The  main  purpose  of  this  program  is  to help people
translate  long texts with informal english (like books, stories etc.).
For  some of You it can be quite hard to understand why english2english
and  not  english2polish  or english2german.  First of all it's usefull
for everyone - in france, germany, japan and so on.  It's also the only
way to understand a real meaning of some words.
    As  far  as I know there is no other publications like this for
Amiga computers.
