Software / Ann: update to EDICT, KANJIDIC, examples

« on: November 09, 2004, 03:06:05 am »

Halx,

I finally downloaded your 77MB ENAMDICT, but I'm waiting to get a new CF card before I can install.  I just wanted to say thanks for all of your work here.  I'm excited at all the dictionary files that are becoming available for ZTEN.

Cheers,

If someone figures out a method for either getting this converted version of ENAMDICT online or transferred another way, please drop me a personal message.  I've been waiting for a copy of this for a loooooong time.  Thanks!

Ashikase,

What program did you use to extract the files?  Can you give me a brief run through.

BTW, the name dictionary is not really for finding the meaning of names, but rather how to read them.  Even Japanese people often have trouble reading names, and I come across lots of them in my job.  I'd rather be able to look them up myself rather than having to rely on those around me...

Oops, one more thing.  Anyone have webspace where Halx can post the ENAMDICT file.  I can't be the only one who wants this on my Z.  Or maybe I am....

Warning: Question by someone who knows jack about computers. Proceed at your own risk.

Question: I downloaded the "Jinmei Jiten" (Dictionary of People's Names) off of the vecor site mentioned above.  I extracted (hopefully that's the correct term here) the files (Data & Gaiji) from the .izh I downloaded using a program called EB Stuido as recommended by the readme file on the site. (See below) *Hopefully I did this correctly...

http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA037273/data/readme_j.txt

I took all of the files that were extracted (?) and put them in a folder called "PDDDic" as per the above read me file to create the same file structure. One small difference though - the Gai16f00 file does not appear in my "Gaiji" folder, but then again, none of my dictionaries have data in the "Gaiji" file.

From here, I put the PDDDic folder in a folder called "dict" on my Zaurus SD card where I keep all of my other dictionary files (EIJIRO, EDICT, etc.). I opened up Zten and added the dictionary. Zten at this point appears to be recognizing the new dictionary without a problem.

Unfortunately, after the dictionary is added, Zten fails to pull any info from it when I perform a search.  All of my other dictionaries work fine, but nothing from this one.  I even performed searches for the same items shown in the screen shots at the Vector site, but I got no search results...

What am I doing wrong?

Sorry for the long post.

Thanks!  I'll give it a shot.  All I really need is kana readings of Japanese names, so if this can do it, I don't care if it's all in Japanese.

Thanks again for the link!

All,

I had such good luck with my last question that I figured I'd press my luck with a second.

I currently use ZTEN to run several different dictionaries on my Z (EDICT, EJIRO, Life Sciences, etc.).  However, I really want to get ENAMDICT (free dictionary of Japanese proper names) in there as well, but I can't get it to work with ZTEN.  You have to realize I'm a total moron when it comes to computers.  I use the Z soley for the Japanese functions.

My question:  Does anyone have a converted version of ENAMDICT that I can get up and running with ZTEN?

Thanks for all of your help!

Cheers,


Murahachibu

Software / JLPT Kanji Quiz Software

« on: September 07, 2004, 11:30:10 pm »

All,

I was hoping someone could help out.  I saw a freeware java application posted on killefiz.de which was designed to quiz all of the JLPT kanji (Levels 4 to level 1: approx. 10,000 words).


http://killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=2223


Unfortunately, when I click on the link for the software, all I get is gibberish.  


http://augustin.vidovic.org/pages/jlpt/jlpt_arm.ipk

I was wondering if anyone got a copy of this program while the link was functioning (assuming it ever was).  If so, I'd love to get a copy.

I wanted to email the company that's distributing it, but there's no contact info on their site.

Cheers for any help you can offer.

Jeremy,

I love portabase. Thanks!

Quick question: Are there any plans in the works to enable both screen views possible on the 7XX units?

That\'s the only real thing lacking for me right now.

Cheers.

6000 - Tosa / japanese websites

« on: February 24, 2004, 03:09:54 am »

what are they saying?

I haven\'t been following the thread to be honest - I\'m personally more interested in the sl-cxxx series rather than the sl-6000.  As for translation, I\'d be happy to look at specific passages from time to time to help out the group, but there\'s no way I\'m going to read/summerize entire threads.  I just don\'t have the time.

Accessories / Microdrive vs CF Card

« on: January 27, 2004, 03:14:22 am »

Vee Dub,

Thanks for the great info.!  I did a search for microdrives on the site, but not for CF.  I\'ll definitely do that.

Accessories / Microdrive vs CF Card

« on: January 26, 2004, 11:51:43 pm »

Help.

Nice to meet you guys. I\'m a new user of a Zaurus Sl-c860.  I\'m using my Z primarily for J <-> E dictionaries because I\'m a professional translator.  I need to up my storage space beyond my current 256MB SD card to add some more dictionaries, so here are my questions:

1.  Is anyone out there using an IBM or Hitachi microdrive?  I know the IBM works with the SL-C860, how about the hitachi (or other brands)? How is the speed?  Speed is very important to me because I often need to get to my dictionary quickly if I\'m interpretting.  Any major problems?  An overall review of any good points/bad points would be nice.

2. Any advice concerning 512 MB CF cards?  Are any brands recommended or discouraged?  What specs should I be looking for regarding speed/reliability?  I don\'t know much about this media, but I noticed that some are graded higher than others (i.e. Hagiwara (maybe) makes two versions of its cards a V series and a Z series).  If you have any recommendations, please include model number if possible.

Thanks for any help you can give me, and I look forward to reading/posting on the forum.
