The program takes three
parameters: the dictionary file name (format is plain text); a word to go
along the top of the rectangle; and a word to go down the side.  For
example, running "square dict.txt yoko ono" produces:

 yoko
oared
nudie
odors

Of course this can easily make a proper rectangle by omitting the (shared)
first letter of both words, e.g. "square dict.txt ois ane" for "lois lane".

Hope this helps in some way.

I made a very minor mod to the program so that it will generate
traditional word squares from its single word argument, eg:

./traditional ../wordsquare/special.6.txt graham

Source is in 'traditional.c'.

Ought to make it a parameter, have just one source, and tidy up
the source with the usual user interface stuff like giving error
messages if the dictionary file doesn't exist rather than core
dumping ;-)
