          available here.
Usage   : MS-DOS application

This program may be used and copied freely without  charge,  but  only  for
non-commercial  purposes.  The  author is not responsible for any damage or
loss of data that may be caused by using it.

ABBREVV is a menu-oriented DOS application to view and maintain a  list  of
abbrevations.  The acronyms may be up to 7 characters long, the description
can be any text up to 69 characters.

It shows one or more sorted abbrevation lists, allows you to insert, change
or delete entries and search for duplicates. You can also merge two or more
abbrevation lists into  a  single  one.  The  program  interface  is  quite
intuitive,   offering  mouse  support,  Windows-like  menu's  and  multiple
document subwindows.

The program saves its last used settings in a file named ABBREVV.SET, so it
can automatically open the same abbrevation file windows the next time  you
start  it. The setting file is normally stored in the same directory as the
executable program, but you  can  specify  a  separate  directory  for  the
setting  file  in  a  DOS  environment  variable with the name SETTING. The
easiest way to do this, is  to  include  a  line  like  this  one  in  your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
  SET SETTING=C:\DATA

A sample abbrevation datafile is distributed with the program as SAMPLE.ABB.
