From the authors:

Symbol Set Wizard is a supplementary program to EdWord and EdWeb. It helps you create Symbol Sets.  This program is needed because neither EdWord nor EdWeb is supplied with a set of symbols, so you will need to either create your own set or use an existing set.  If you choose to do the latter, you need to be aware of the licensing requirements of the symbol set that you use – see the section called “Important Note” below.

A Symbol Set is a collection of images that are used by EdWord and EdWeb to associate words with symbols. The images have to be in a certain folder and grouped alphabetically in folders. Symbol Set Wizard does this for you. All you have to do is point it to the original image files, which may be a set of files you have created yourself or a commercially available symbol set.

The image files must have the same name as the word you want them to be associated to. For example, the file car.bmp will be associated to the word car. The file car 1.bmp will be associated to the words car 1.  The wizard can deal with the case where multiple images are associated with the same word.  For example, there may be three images that can be associated with the word car.  These might be called car.bmp, car1.bmp and car2.bmp.  Step 3 of the symbol set up process deals with this – see later.

The original project homepage link was broken, and has been re-linked to one with a notice about the ending of the project. There is a reference to this OATS page for downloads. We have found a local download that is now locally stored here (our previous download link referred back to the project owner). This is hopefully the latest release. Feedback is welcome!
