/sys/src/cmd/dict/dict.c states: /* * Assumed index file structure: lines of form * [^\t]+\t[0-9]+ * First field is key, second is byte offset into dictionary. * Should be sorted with args -u -t' ' +0f -1 +0 -1 +1n -2 */
whereas, /sys/src/cmd/dict/mkindex outputs: <byte offset> <key> i.e., 0 ヽ [くりかえし] (custom dictionary from EDICT) or 158928 Ab*sorb`a*bil"i*ty (pgw) thus, the resulting index from mkindex seems to not be usable with dict(7) Perhaps, before I dive into thinking I'm fixing things, someone would be kind enough to look into the above? ak
