Yes, the server retrieves the 00-database-short* entries using a regular lookup, and thus uses the index. Also, any changes to the database file that affects the offsets of entries would require an index rebuild. It should be possible to append entries to the database file and then only add to the index, instead of totally rebuilding it. (And the data used to build the index in the first place may no longer reside in the database.) There are tools for index building in the Debian package dictfmt, and I could write an "append and index" tool, but you can hand compute the offsets for a test. Is there any relation between Reta Vortaro and the Freedict project? http://www.freedict.de/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/freedict/ I once heard that the freedict dictionaries were derived from an Esperanto dictionary, but I do not know that for certain. There are some 42 Debian dict-freedict-*-* packages, but they are two years old, maintained by the Debian QA team (the orphanage), and I believe that they have been broken for a long time. (Somewhere on my long to-do list is investigating and possibly fixing and adopting them.) How many Reta Vortaro dictionaries are there? Earlier, you said: > So, basically, we have revo.dict.dz, which contains the Esperanto > definitions and translations in native languages, and revo.fr.index, > revo.en.index, etc. ... Does revo.fr only translate Esperanto -> French, or does it also do French -> Esperanto? Kirk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
