at it, edit it, and re-encode it with ENDICT.EXE.
The proper way to use dedict is like this:
dedict
where the infile name is the name of the dictionary to be decoded
and the outfile name is the name of the decoded dictionary. If a
file already exists in the directory with the same name as the
outfile name, dedict will ask you if you want to overwrite it.
For example, to decode the default Scramble dictionary, type this:
dedict scramdic.dct scramdic.out
You can then look at scramdic with any text editor. You can add
words (in alphabetical order!) or edit the words that are already
there. For information on how to re-encode the dictionary, see the
file ENDICT.DOC.
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
