DICT protocol

[Sanjeev Charla]

Hi,

DICT protocol databases has two files,

1. one contains actual words,

2. index file (?)

please explain index file format . . .

Thank you,

The index file contains all the punctuations. When you load it from the DB, these two files are automatically and randomly merged to output coherent sentences in the language of your choice.
It is strongly rumored that Gibbon wrote Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire using DICT protocol, however these claims are still unsubstantiated.

if i want to get meaning for a word, from a single database, how to get that by using these two files ??

here i can't understand the use of index file.

is it something like, first we need to search in the index file and get the position of the word in the original data base and randomly read the word from that position etc etc . . . ??

thank you.

Are you talking about this?

Note that you posted your topic in the Meaningless Drivel forum, which is our forum where we relax and make jokes, just for fun in between all the serious work. If you have some serious question about the DICT protocol, then Meaningless Drivel is not the right forum to post your question in.
