this purpose.

this global search (with current dictionary). If you use this

KDIC dictionaries' entry.

* This is minor bug-fix version
* Fix for Japanese Localizer
Sorry, I left 'Option' Menu in English. In this version, this menu is
Japanized.
* Fix for ChangeCase feature on line-mode.
Sorry, it's my mistake. Command shortcut for ChangeCase on line-mode is
left as CommandShortcut+'K', but CommandShortcut+'Z' is correct.
I've fixed this.
* v1.13 (99/05/22)
* Japanese Localizer
Added localizer file for Japanese.
By installing this file (locjkdic.prc), most menu/label of KDIC
are changed to Japanese language.
You need to install for using Japanese localizer:
* JOS-III (if you are using English version of Palm device)
* LocalizerHack (if you are using Japanese version of WorkPad)
Both programs are developed by Yamada-san:
http://www.tt.rim.or.jp/~tatsushi/
* ChangeCase feature
With command-shortcut+Z, you can change case of search word.
For example, if initial search word is 'Alias':
'Alias' -> 'alias' -> 'ALIAS' -> 'Alias' ...
It's convinient to search word picked from document.
* Deleted 'Register' Menu from line-mode.
It had not been implemented, just only menu exist... sorry.
* v1.12
* 'Select All' feature
On Main screen, you can select whole of screen by this feature.
Use Menu->Edit->SelectAll or CommandShortCut+S for this.
* v1.11
* Now you can browse not only keyword but also translation on line-mode.
(It's very nice feature, you can browse many (11 word at once) words &&
translations on screen).
* You can use Word: field on line-mode, easy to browse going around.
* You can use any character code for keyword (index word) in dictionary.
It will be useful for non-US (non-English) character encoding.
* v1.10
* Added KDIC DA (KDIC DA edition). This program is really cool!
You can use KDIC DA without quiting from current application
(MemoPad, Doc reader, anything else). You can search any word on
the screen by one-touch operation!!
I promise you love this program.
For detail, please read kdicda-e.txt.
* In the case of you install multiple dictionaries, dictionary order
is always sorted by dictionary name (regardless of installation of
dictionaries).
* In the case of your dictionary has same index entry, you can browse
these words by up/down button.
* Bug fix
* When you use KDIC as DragDrop module on KDIC itself, previous
version results 'Fatal Error', and you have to reset your Palm Pilot.
This problem is fixed. Nothing happen on this case.
* v1.08
* This release is just small bug fixes (not fatal bugs or new feature)...
* v1.07
* New feature
* You can switch dictionary also from line-mode (word listing mode).
* Can display current selected dictionary name on upper left of screen.
(See <> section to enable this.)
* Added preference to enable 'dictionary list' on tapping 'J' button
of main screen. You can select dictionary from this popup to be searched.
It's like 'dictionary surfin' :-)
(See <> section to enable this.)
* Changed User Interface
* 'C'(Copy) and 'P'(Paste) buttons are removed to make space for
displaying current dictionary name.
Please use short cut or Menu->Edit->Copy/Paste for this purpose.
Sorry for youe inconvenience.

'Return' is entered at Graffiti (stroke from right upper to
left bottom).

1 line) to 1 screen (11 lines). If you like to scroll by 1 line
in this mode, check 'Scroll One Line (Line Mode)' on preference
menu.
* Bug fix

* Add alert form when dictionary is to be deleted.
* v1.03
* Long time to this new version, sorry!
* Drag&Drop Module
Now, you can use KDIC with Mr. Fukumoto's DragDrop.
Visit his homepage for detail (http://www.wakuwaku.ne.jp/shuji/)
for detail.
As short, you can Drag&Drop word && get translation on the fly
in any applications (MemoPad, Doc, etc.)
* Added 'ToMemoPad' feature
This enhanement request comes from US user, but this is very
comfortable for me, too!
'M' button is added at right upper of main screen.
By tapping this, word && translation is transfered to MemoPad
database.
It's very useful to review these word & translations.
I recommend you to make 'KDIC' category from MemoPad application.
In this case, word & translation is sent to 'KDIC' category, if not
the case, will goto 'Unfiled' category (of course, it's no problem).
* LargeFont
This enhancement is requested from mainly Chinese-charecter users.
You can choose translations font from 'Reguler' or 'Large'.
Along with this, size of translation field area is enhanced as
screen limit. In regular font, 1 line added.
* v1.02
* v1.02 is not public release version. (only evaluation purpose)
* v1.01
* Minor bug fix (sorry updates so often)
* Following bugs are fixed
* When KDIC is invoked with dictionary generated by gendic.exe v1.0 &&
if this dictionary is only dictionary for KDIC, following message is
displayed and exits : 'KDIC dictionary not installed'.
* On dictionary select screen, triangle mark (indicates more entries are
there) is displayed, and when tap this mark, results Fatal Error.
* On dictionary select screen, garbaged data may be displayed.
* v1.00
* Now, KDIC supports Multiple Dictionary. (MAX 8 dictionaries)
You can select dictionary dynamically on KDIC.
To achive this, gendic.exe is also updated (v1.0), new options are
available :
'-n' specify dictionary name (not file name)
'-o' specify output file name.
* You can delete KDIC's dictionaries from KDIC.
* Added preference to support :
When word includes capital letter, allow KDIC to search also
lower-case word. (ie. Abstract -> abstract)
* Earlier version of KDIC has 100-byte limitation of clipboard copy
operation. This limitation is removed from v1.0. You can copy
full screen characters to clipboard.
* And... I'm very sorry! I realized CreatorID && TypeID of KDIC's
dictionaries are wrong (not conform to 3com Pilot's).
To correct these, I changed dictionary format.
Gendic.exe is also changed to achive this.
As a result of these, followings are available combination of
dictionary and KDIC.
('Before vx.x' includes vx.x, 'after vx.x' includes vx.x)
Dictionary generated by gendic.exe before v0.6 + KDIC before v0.94 : OK
Dictionary generated by gendic.exe before v0.6 + KDIC after v1.00 : OK(**)
Dictionary generated by gendic.exe after v0.7 + KDIC before v0.94 : NG
Dictionary generated by gendic.exe after v0.7 + KDIC after v1.00 : OK
'OK(**)' means :
current version (KDIC v1.00) supports this combination, but future
release may not support this.
So, please re-generate dictionaries with newer version of gendic.exe
as soon as possible. Sorry again.
* Along with changing CreatorID of dictionary, KDIC's dictionary is
not displayed on 'Memory' built-in application of Pilot.
Amount size of KDIC program and dictionaries are displayed on 'Memory'
application.
To delete independent dictionaries of KDIC, please use :
MENU -> Option -> Dictionary
* v0.93
Now, you can put KDIC.PDB (dictionary database) and KDIC.PRC(program
itself) on Flash-ROM of TRG's SuperPilot-II/Lite.
This dramatically reduce RAM usage on your Pilot.
