+Assignment #11 Report
+------------------------
+The program here is a slightly adapted version of a random string generator,
+which is itself based off of an example in the book "Multi-paradigm Programming with Leda".
+The easiest way to run it is launch the attached jar-file through the command file,
+then choose the attached .gram file as input, pick the initial rule as <item> from the drop-down
+list and enter any number. It will first print out the rules three times, once before it adds some
+dummy rules to delete, once after the dummy rules have been added, and a third after the dummy
+rules has been deleted. It will then generate text based off of the input.
+
+Collection Details
+-------------------
+The project involves the use of multiple collections, but the main one is the Hashtable inside of
+WeightedGrammar that holds the rules and the cases that belong to them. This is very similiar
+to the HashMap except for some concurrency things that aren't particularly relevant in this
+situation. The basic functionality is simply to look up objects by a key.
+
+This collection has the potential to be useful for a phonebook of some kind,
+where you want to look up people by their phone numbers, or phone numbers by the name.
+
+Resources
+-----------
+The application itself was based heavily off of an example in the above mentioned book, while
+the data for the input file came from a copy of "Diablo II: The Awakening" and its random item
+generation tables.
+
+Source Files
+-------------
+The source file of the main runnable application is the GrammarReaderApp class in bjc.RGens.text,
+while the main class that uses the collection is WeightedGrammar in bjc.utils.gen
