This file also explains the Greek transliteration syntax used in it. * DICTIONARY LOOKUP -The GNU Dico project contains a module for reading GCIDE files. This -distribution provides a configuration file "gcide.conf" which you can use -with the "dicod" server in order to look up words in the dictionary. See -http://www.gnu.org.ua/software/dico for a description of GNU Dico, including -links to download. - -The instructions below describe how to configure GNU Dico server (dicod) to -access a copy of the GCIDE dictionary. - -1. Unpack the GCIDE dictionary; - -2. Copy the file "gcide.conf" to a directory where you keep your local -configuration files (/etc or /usr/local/etc are usual choices). - -3. Replace the word GCIDE_PATH in the "gcide.conf" statement with the path -to the gcide-0.51 dicrectory. You can omit this step and use the -D option -instead: - -4. Check the configuration file. Run: - dicod --config /path/to/gcide.conf --lint -If you skipped the step 3, supply the -D option with the acual path to -the dictionary. For example, if you copied "gcide.conf" to /etc and -unpacked GCIDE to /usr/local, then run: - dicod --config /etc/gcide.conf -D GCIDE_PATH=/usr/local --lint -If no errors are reported, then go to the step 5. - -5. Start "dicod". Run the same command as described in step 4, but without -the "--lint" option. This will start the dictionary server which will be -avaialble on localhost (127.0.0.1) port 2628. The server provides extensive -searching facilities. It also parses the GCIDE markup and automatically -reformats the articles before returning them. - -Now you can access the dictionary using dico (a GNU dictionary command line -utility), or another dictionary client program (such as Kdict or the like). +The GNU Dico project contains a browser for GCIDE, called "Gcider". It +provides a windowing interface allowing user to search for matching +headwords using several match strategies and browse their definitions. + +The package also provides a loadable module which allows to use GCIDE with +the dictionary server. + +See http://www.gnu.org.ua/software/dico for more information, including +links to download and documentation. * OTHER VERSIONS OF THE DICTIONARY There are several other derivative versions of this dictionary on the internet, in some cases reformatted or provided with an interface.
