WORDS -- Generate Tree-structured Noticeboard

WORDS generates a tree-structured noticeboard with one item for each word found in a file provided by the user. The user also specifies a ``cluster size'', which is a measure of how deep the tree is (the tree has about $\log_{2} ($cluster size) levels). Once the noticeboard has been created the user can type in words and is told whether they appeared in the file. Exit with ^Z. The example given for NBTRACE is of a noticeboard created using WORDS.
