Details

!Dict is a front-end to Stefan Bellon's Dict tool, providing an easy access
to several internet dictionaries. !Dict assumes that this tool is already
installed and setup.

The front-end has a few advantages over the standard TaskWindow input.
- Access is easier.
- On an Iyonix, UTF8 encodings are supported (to some extend).
- On systems prior to RISC OS 5, the most frequent UTF8 encodings will be
converted to readable topbit characters.
- The default layout is much better (and much nicer) than the original
Taskwindow output.

!Dict can easily be customised. A Stronghelp manual is provided.
Although !Dict is so far only tested on an Iyonix, it is believed to work
on most other RISC OS versions too. A broadband connection, however, is
strongly recommended.
