Capital letters are alphabetized BEFORE lower case. The file you've downloaded will be in the order it's in in the original PDIC file. If you want to use Eijiro for your desktop or notebook computer, move all the Eijiro files ending in ".DIC" and the "TEXT" folder into the Personal Dictionary folder in C:\Program Files (or wherever you installed Personal Dictionary to). Personal Dictionary is also a pretty good dictionary reader program. Click OK, and it will create a specially formatted text file. In the window that pops up, choose the following options:Ĭlick 参照 under the left box to browse to the file you want to EIJI-XXX.DIC or WAEI-XXX.DIC click 参照 under the right box to choose where to save the resulting file and what to call it. The following instructions are for the Windows version, but I think the Mac version should work similarly.

Once you've got all your decompressed Eijiro files in a folder somewhere on your computer, download and install a program called Personal Dictionary ( Windows - Mac). Your copy of Eijiro will be registered in your name with your contact information-if you share it with the world at large, they will be coming after you. Fortunately, I was able to connect them to the guilty party so they decided not to sue me.

They can trace the file through the password used to decode it-their lawyers contacted me when someone I'd bought it for posted it on a P2P site (obviously it"s down now). Please do not share Eijiro online through file sharing (P2P) services. It'd be a crime (literally) to steal from them and a shame if they were no longer able to keep updating the file or no longer able to make it available at all. They're a non-profit making a fantastic resource available dirt cheap-they're essentially providing a public service and charging just enough to cover their costs. One important note: Eijiro is produced by and for professional translators. Buy an Eijiro password, then download and decompress the files (the files are freely downloadable, but you need the password to decompress them).
