Cxx0 General discussions / Sd/cf + Jap. Dictionary Questions For C860

« on: February 26, 2006, 03:27:39 am »

Thankyou everyone for your replies. I didn't have a chance until today to play around with my Zaurus again.

I have Cacko1.22 with full Japanese support setup. I re-installed the translation software and the original Jisho that comes with the Zaurus and added Kanji Nirvana. I also installed ztenv with edict, which is working fine.

I don't know how to add the edict examples dictionary to ztenv. (I don't know much about using my Zaurus).

Can anyone give instructions? I used the example directions on this page:
http://www.wbcd.org/computing/zaurus/part_12.html
and created a folder structure as is suggested. I just copied the catalogs file from the edict folder and added it to an edict example folder. This allowed me to add the examples dictionary in ztenv, but it doesn't seem to be returning examples. Do I need to edit the catalogs file?

Am I supposed to setup the "jp_examples.fpwebz" file in ztenv in a different way?

Also, can I add the original Jisho dictionary to ztenv? How would I go about doing that?

Is there any other software that Japanese language learners would recommend? I'll look into buying the green goddess dictionary later, that sounds great.

Thanks again.

I bought my c860 about a year ago in Japan but haven't gotten much use out of it. The main reason is I've been unable to find Japanese/English and English/Japanese dictionaries that suit my needs.

I want a dictionary that gives example sentences such as Kodansha's furigana dictionary.

1) Does anyone know a dictionary such as that which I can find or buy to run on a Zaurus? (That will require it to be in epwing format won't it?, I don't know too much about how to do this).

My other question is re. cf/sd cards for storage and internet access. I'm thinking that I'd like to get an SD card for internet use and a CF/microdrive for storage (using the cards in this way seems to be cheaper than the other way around?)

2) Can someone explain how wifi works? I've never used wireless internet access before, where will my Zaurus work?

3) Can anyone recommend good sd/cf cards for me? Are there any compatability issues with the Zaurus or will any card work? I'm thinking of buying a large card (I hear CF cards come in 4/6/8 gig sizes).

4) Does anyone have some Japan-specific shopping advice? I live in Kyoto and was thinking of buying through http://www.kakaku.com/ (Japanese web site) which I've used in the past and seems very cheap for Japan.

Thanks for any advice.
