Dear internet Go player, INTRODUCTION These files are the first setup for an online multi-language Go dictionary. The dictionary is currently being split into several sub-dictionaries making it easier to maintain: File name Entries Lines Bytes -------------------------------------- champion.dct 27 253 9336 names.dct 2035 9289 175261 numbers.dct 10 80 3294 polite.dct 11 129 4972 technical.dct 427 6361 157703 -------------------------------------- intergo.dct 531 5534 350566 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! !!! !!! Please make changes to the sub-dictionaries when sending updates. !!! !!! !!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DICTIONARY FORMAT The dictionaries contain a header with some explanation on the dictionary format. If you have any questions please contact me. CHANGING/ADDING If you decide to add or change entries in one of the dictionaries please keep a copy of the original. If you want to send me those changes please send me a context "diff": diff -c technical.dct- technical.dct where "technical.dct-" is the original and "technical.dct" is your version with additions and/or changes/corrections. You can send me the output of the "diff -c" command. DICTIONARY INTERFACE Also included in the "Intergo Go Dictionary" package is an interface program "intergo". This program can be build with: make intergo It expects the dictionary to be called "intergo.dct" and to reside in the current directory. You can put it somewhere else though and set the environment variable INTERGO pointing to the dictionary: [csh] setenv INTERGO /somewhere/on/the/file/system/intergo.dct [sh/ksh] INTERGO=/somewhere/on/the/file/system/intergo.dct export INTERGO You can build intergo.dct with: make intergo.dct Executing: "intergo -h" will give the usage. Common usages are: intergo -ta -la -i intergo -ta -la geta The first mode is interactively: enter a search pattern, like "tengen", and hit . Next, you can enter another search pattern and hit , et cetera. You can exit the interactive mode with ^C (QUIT) or ^D (EOF). The second mode is batch mode: it will load the dictionary, look up the word, print the definition stored and exit. Have fun! Jan van der Steen
