*** listwords/readme.txt ****

 The files in this directory create a linked list of words, 
 search for the word with the highest "value" (an arbitrarily 
 chosen function of the word's letters), and time how long that 
 takes for various numbers of words.

 See the comments in the front of listWords.c 
 for more on the assignment details.
