The taiwan site moers2.edu.tw has
an elctronic dictionary for pc, 
I also put it on ifcss.org:/software/dos/e-dic. 
Is anyone interested in making a unix version?
GB version, HZ version? I have not tried it on pc
due to the large space requirement, 20MB.

I've made the Unix flat-files available as:
crl.nmsu.edu:pub/chinese/moers2-dict-gb.Z
             pub/chinese/moers2-dict-b5.Z

The dictionaries are about 2M each when uncompressed.

Each entry is on its own line and has the following format:

   <English term><tab><Hanzi term>[<tab><Acronym>]

(an entry may or may not not have an acronym, so the final
<tab><Acronym> may or may not be there).

I haven't sent mail to the moers2 site manager yet to make sure of the
distribution, but I will soon.

We haven't had time to check and see if there were any conversion
errors in the GuoBiao version (I just ran it through HC).

Wang XiaoFei, if you decide to put these files on IFCSS.ORG, please
let me know so I can remove them from here.  We will be low on disk
space until mid-June so I may have to remove them soon.
