V92-029 of "edict" is now available on pub/nihongo on 
monu6.cc.monash.edu.au for collection. Use ftp or ftpmail to 
collect copies. As usual, it is there in plain text (edict),
compressed (edict.Z) and compressed and indexed for jdic/
jreader usage (edict.zoo).

[For those not following the edict story, it is a PD
Japanese-English dictionary file which I started to develop
about 18 months ago. Read the full details in "edict.doc"]

V29 is about 2000 entries larger than V28. This is due
to hard work by a number of contributors (Scott Trent &
his wife Nobuko, Theresa Martin, ....). My friend and
colleague Harold Rowe put in 1500+ entries, thus finishing
the conversion of the "jddict" file into English.

I would like to think that edict is approaching completion,
but then I thought that when it was only 8,000 entries. I
notice that when using it to help read fj.* news, it is rare
to encounter a compound which is not already there. The DOS
version of the file is approaching 1.2Mb, and I will have to
recompile jdic & jreader if it reaches 1.5M.

Again, thanks to everyone who is assisting with new entries
and corrections.
