This is the README for the collection of CEDICT tools developed
by David Hiebeler (hiebeler@cam.cornell.edu).

These tools are Copyright (c) 1998,1999  David Hiebeler
See the file COPYING for license information.

If you are missing some files, or want to check for newer versions,
you can go to http://www.cam.cornell.edu/hiebeler/home.html and follow
the link to my "Chinese resources" or something obvious like that.

Also, you can send me an e-mail at hiebeler@cam.cornell.edu and
request to be notified when new versions of these programs are
available.  I promise I won't send any other junk e-mail.  (Believe
me, I hate e-mail spam).  And I doubt I will make updates very often,
unless a pretty serious bug turns up.



You should have the following files:

COPYING : License information.

README: This file.  (If you are missing this file, what are you reading?)

cedictcheckformat : A Perl script which checks to see whether the entries
    in a CEDICT file conform to the standard format.

cedictlookup : A Perl script for doing vocabulary lookups of entries in
    a CEDICT-format file or collection of files.

cedictlookup.doc : Documentation for the cedictlookup script.

cedictlookup.el : An Emacs-lisp file to make it convenient to call the
    cedictlookup script from within Emacs.

cedictmerge : A Perl script for merging multiple CEDICT-format files
    together, and flag multiple entries with the same Chinese field.

cedictsort : A Perl script for sorting a CEDICT-format file
    alphabetically by pinyin, as you find in a regular Chinese dictionary.
