Topic: INSIDE AN ELECTRONIC DICTIONARY

This months topic will be presented by -- Jim Breen -- Visiting
Professor, at the Institute for the Study of Languages and Cultures
of Asia and Africa, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Japan.

As Jim says.....

In the talk I intend to cover three aspects of what I have been doing
with electronic dictionaries and dictionary files over the last few
years:

- how the file(s) are structured, and why

- how they are indexed and searched. The good bits and the
limitations.

- some of the implementation issues, as the files and techniques
have been used on various platforms, both as stand-alone systems
and servers.

If anyone is left awake, I'll mention where I'm going with the XML
formatted files, and some plans for expanding the WWW server, and
finally doing a cross-platform standalone version.

All Linux users and supporters of open source code and free software
are invited to attend this Tokyo Linux Users Group (TLUG) meeting.
Membership is open to anyone.  There are no membership dues or
entrance fees.

After the meeting, we will drink a few cold beers at:
