For instance, if you type: "hookeriana" the program prints
"(ampullaria x rafflesiana)". If you type: "chelsonii", it returns
"((rafflesiana x gracilis) x (ampullaria x rafflesiana))".
You can also define new hybrids by typing things like:
"def hookeriana ampullaria rafflesiana" to define N. hookeriana
as being (ampullaria x rafflesiana)..
So if you make the following definitions:
def mixta northiana maxima
def dicksoniana rafflesiana veitchii
def dyeriana mixta dicksoniana
then when you type "dyeriana", the program responds with:
((northiana x maxima) x (rafflesiana x veitchii))
When the program starts up, it automatically reads in a database
of 150 common hybrid definitions.
To run it, you must have the program 'nawk' available on your system.
