Thank you.
Yes, I know EBView ... but have troubles using it.
I tried it on 6-8 different computers, Windows/Linux, 2-3 versions.
I constantly get following errors:
1)  Search method -> "Failed to search: no such search method"
•  Automatic    =   failed
•  Exactword    =   failed
•  Forward          =   failed
•  Backward    =   failed
•  Keyword      =   OK
•  Multiword      =   OK
•  Full text        =   no hits

2)  Japanese input
EVERY Japanese character results in: "Failed to read gaiji: za544"

3)  Help
Clicking on the items in the Help menu give this error:
"Failed to execute command. Check setting"

And EBView refuses to read two important dictionaries.
