Dictionary
If you want to get a dictionary, please email me
this program is still not finished.
I have several easy plans :
- to add a encryption system, so a user can encrypt her/his dictionary files
(with password and/or key-floppy)
- to implement hashing (first stage) and
binary-searching (second stage). My tests show that this makes searching
several times faster ( about 5x !) even on machines with
limited memory (<16MB)
- I have already defined a dictionary format
that D will use, I have also wrote a converter
that can convert your dictionaries in LINGVO* format to
format that D uses (it seems to be better).
- I do not plan to make D understand LINGVO* format directly.
- D is ported to win32 and looks there the same.
- I also plan to move to FLTK-2.0 that is faster and draws
smoother, defines STYLES & looks great. ;-)
- There is also a plan to make it possible to use D
under console (I really need this sometimes)
- Finally I'll use a new text widget that is current under
my development. It will allow including TRANSCRIPTION
of the english (russian?) words
- There are still some systems that do not have Russian fonts
(american-Windows and some old X) so I plan to built TrueType fonts in
the program, (compile-time option).
- Suggestions ?
