BOD_X creation

Creation of a dictionary in BOD_X format from .TXT files distributed in Rangjung Yeshe dictionary CD

1999 version 2 RY-DIC99.TXT
2003 version 3 ry-dic2003.txt, ry-dic2003-prop.txt, IvesWaldo.txt, JimValby2002.txt, RichardBarron.txt.

Unfortunately, just like the Rangjung Yeshe Dictionary CD version 2, also the new version 3 has something wrong in the distribution of BOD_X program: in the "\ry-dictionary2003\SearchPrograms\Leonardo BOD_X" folder, a couple of ZIP files are corrupted.
The file distribution list, as sent to Erik/Earthlink in february 2003, was as follows with a total of 11 file 4,92 Mb.

bod_x_.exe 467 Kb main program
bod_si.DBF 4 Kb personal Wylie input "shortcuts"
bod_si.CDX 3 Kb index
BOD_GPL_.TTF 90 Kb Tibetan font
* BOD_X.pdf 196 Kb Documentation
* VFP6RENU.DLL 3295 Kb Microsoft Visual Fox Pro Runtime library
* VFP6R.DLL 856 Kb Microsoft Visual Fox Pro Runtime library
* bodsample.zip 55 Kb dictionary, glossary, Tibetan text samples
crea_dz_.exe 50 Kb convert from RY txt file to BOD_X database
crea_kz_.exe 30 Kb create database of english words in dictionary

The files marked with * are downloadable from the BOD_X web sites in ZIP format.

From BOD_X_ version 7.20 the import function is included in the main program under the button "import DICTIONARY from .TXT file". Unresolved Wylie syllables are reported in the .ERR file and result as -!!!!- in Tibetan font column.
The creation of the database of translation words (file xxxxx_KZ) is done with the "keywords" button on the DICTIONARY page.
The programs crea_dz.exe and crea_kz.exe are therefore obsolete.
