===============
JDICUTIL is a utility program associated with the JDIC program.
It uses the edict and edict.jdx files which are used/created by
JDIC Version 1.4.
The purpose of JDICUTIL is to extend the usefulness of the edict
Japanese/English dictionary file and facilitate its updating.
Operation
---------
JDICUTIL must be operated from within the directory containing
edict and edict.jdx. There is no option to use other files.
The program has a number of utility functions which are selected by
the user once the program loads. They are:
MYDICT generation - this is only applicable if you are using MOKE.
MOKE allows for a user extension to its standard kana->kanji
dictionary (wnndict) called "mydict". This function compares the
edict and wnndict files, and generates a file "mydict.add" which
can be used as the mydict within MOKE.
Print file generation - this function produces a printable file of
the edict dictionary in the same format as JDIC's screen display. It
produces either a Japanese/English file (select kana order mode) or
an English/Japanese file (very large!). You can elect to have tab
characters preceding the fields (not much use). The output file is
called edict.prn.
Sorted edict file generation - this function generates a copy of edict
sorted into ascending order. In order to facilitate the updating of
edict when it is too large for MOKE to hold in RAM, it can be split
over several files. The user is prompted for the number of lines per
file. The file(s) produced are edict1.srt up to edict9.srt.
Duplicate Entry generation - this function scans the edict file and
generates a file edict.dup which contains all the entries in edict
which have identical kana and kanji. It is useful for finding
duplicate entries in edict. Appended is the location of the entry
in the edict file.
Duplicate Kana generation - scans the edict file and produces a
file edict.duh which contains all the pairs of entries with duplicate
yomikata. It is useful for tracking down duplicate entries, one with
kanji and the other without. Appended is the location of the entry in
the edict file.
Missing Kanji generation - produces a file "edict.knj" of all the
kanji in edict which are not present in MOKE's wnndict. The number
of such kanji is growing as people supply more words to edict.
Other utility functions may be added from time to time.
NB: all the files produced by JDICUTIL use EUC coding for the kana
and kanji.
