INTRODUCTION
     Lyreword is a flexible word generator for writers, role players,

       (Unicode combining marks and UTF-16 surrogate pairs)
     * Clicking "Learn" triggers a blinking and counting-up animation
       instead of an explicit success message

DIFFERENCES TO KWEGBALZE
     Lyreword is the official successor of the 2004 application "Kwegbalze".
     The following is a list of the major differences between the two:
     
     * Completely redeveloped with other technologies (C++, Qt) to support some
       other platforms besides Microsoft Windows, such as Mac OS and Linux.
     * User interface reworked: more elegant, intuitive and consistent
     * Terminology changes:
       * A generator "set of rules" is now simply called "language",
         and the "mode" is called "language type"
       * The "memory box" is now called "notes"
       * The former "simple" and "advanced" modes have been merged into the
         new language type "syllable template"
       * The "pro" mode is now more precisely called
         "syllable segment templates (language)"
       * The "or operator" is now called "choice operator"
     * Old alphabet system replaced by a new, much more powerful variable
       system
     * Consistent syntax for variable insertion everywhere:
       Always <v> instead of sometimes V and sometimes $v
     * More powerful template syntax (weights, variables)
     * Full Unicode support
     * New, XML-based language file format 
     * Multiple document interface (MDI) replaced by a more simple multiple
       application approach
     * Constraints
     * Installer for Windows
     * And many more...
