I know, Jim.  I've seen your mails to the Moji group.
And I also know about the way you export edict/etc. -- which I think is 
great.

I wonder -- as many applications as use edict and the name dict and 
kanji dict -- is there some way the dictionaries could be exported so 
the update of the dictionaries and those of the applications could be 
separated.  I remember long ago an application called JavaDict (Todd 
Rudick).  With that, you downloaded edict and then told the application 
where to look for it.

One thing I like about Rikaichan is that I can use it even when I'm 
off-line.  I also find the verb/adjective de-conjugation (?) he does 
really useful.
