- V92-029 of "edict" is now available on pub/nihongo on
- monu6.cc.monash.edu.au for collection. Use ftp or ftpmail to
- collect copies. As usual, it is there in plain text (edict),
- compressed (edict.Z) and compressed and indexed for jdic/
- jreader usage (edict.zoo).
-
- [For those not following the edict story, it is a PD
- Japanese-English dictionary file which I started to develop
- about 18 months ago. Read the full details in "edict.doc"]
-
- V29 is about 2000 entries larger than V28. This is due
- to hard work by a number of contributors (Scott Trent &
- his wife Nobuko, Theresa Martin, ....). My friend and
- colleague Harold Rowe put in 1500+ entries, thus finishing
- the conversion of the "jddict" file into English.
-
- I would like to think that edict is approaching completion,
- but then I thought that when it was only 8,000 entries. I
- notice that when using it to help read fj.* news, it is rare
- to encounter a compound which is not already there. The DOS
- version of the file is approaching 1.2Mb, and I will have to
- recompile jdic & jreader if it reaches 1.5M.
-
- Again, thanks to everyone who is assisting with new entries
- and corrections.
