Introduction
BDicty
is a generic dictionary program for PalmPilot®. It has two components: the BDity program and the databases for each
language, called language lexicons. BDicty supports
unlimited number of languages at a time.
The program is fairly simple and intuitive to use: just install it along with the
language lexicons you want and forget about the paper dictionaries!
BDicty comes with two versions: Public and
Commercial.
The Public version is free and available for download form our web site. It has the most
basic functionality a dictionary needs - the ability to lookup words. In its
"About" menu it shows you it is Demo, even if you have a full version of a
lexicon.
The Commercial (full) version of BDicty gives you several advantages over
the Public one, among which ability to add your own words, different screen views/modes,
support for phrasebooks and many more. For the full list and the latest version (which
also comes free for the Commercial users) please check on our web site. Registration fee is
$10.
One more thing to mention about BDicty is that it can run demo
and licensed (full) lexicons. Demo lexicons can be used by anyone while
the licensed are encrypted and licensed only to a specific user (by the HotsyncID).
There are also free lexicons
available. 
Installation
