[tlug] EBView Works Great / Random House UB?

["Lyle (Hiroshi) Saxon" <ronfaxon@example.com>]

Note: I composed this outside of an e-mail client, so the format is 
slightly different than usual, but I've done what I can to make it 
to-the-point and easy to follow.

Re: "There are a number of EB readers for Linux in various states of 
GUI-dom. AFAIK they work pretty well with most recent dictionaries. My 
only failure was the 5th ed. Koujien which seems to have been encrypted 
and only wants to work with the Whindoze and Mac programs that come on 
the CD."

I just tried "ebview" and it works very well with the EP-Wing 
dictionaries I have.  I have them backed up onto a removable hard drive 
(with the original boxes packed away somewhere), so I'm not sure of 
their exact titles.  Two of the ones I'm using (out of many) are 
Kenkyusha (not sure of the version) and Ueno (for business terms).

Things just get better and better with Linux!  I hadn't expected that I 
would be able to use any of that material once I left the illegal/evil 
empire.

So - "ebview" is working very well, and I have a question.  Are there 
any readers for the unabridged Random House dictionary I have?  Probably 
not....  I did a Google search and it spit back 17,100 hits.  I know I 
should have gone through all 17,000+ possibilities, but hey - most 
people don't even make it to 100 years, so time is an issue.  Of the 
first 10 links that I faithfully had a look at, none was helpful for 
information leading to using the Unabridged Random House on Linux.  Any 
info on that would be very happily received.
