We have an old pre-objects Turbo Pascal program that will create a 
wordlist file from a plaintext in proper format, but since I haven't 
used it in a dozen years, I have no idea how to run it anymore (I don't 
believe it was especially difficult, so the problem isn't 
insurmountable, once I found the right executable.)

Proper format means columnated exactly as the published fixed-column 
gismu list, with the top line serving as control for the program, 
telling it how many words there are, and a couple of other things.

The keywords in each language have to be unique.

When I was learning Russian I set up a Russian English LogFlash file 
with the first couple of chapters of vocabulary, but I found it so hard 
to learn a Russian keyset that I gave up on typing Russian.  We also 
used LogFlash as an English vocabulary trainer for our kids in school, 
but that proved very difficult to make good files for.

Of course there also is LogFlash 2 and LogFlash 3 that teach the cmavo 
and the rafsi (and eventually lujvo-making if we released that version - 
I can't recall).  I don't know if anyone other than my wife and I ever 
used either program though.
