I saw READ.ME file. It is Big5 coded Chinese file. It looks like an English-
Chinese Dirtionary Progamm. I only have PART1.EXE, but others. Who know this
program ? Is it a fpt available program ? Help !

The following is my translation of READ.ME.

--------------------- READ.ME ------------------------------

A SOFTWARE PACKAGE OF ENGLISH-CHINESE DICTIONARY: CDX
FUNCTION: To look up English words in Chinese. Ex. for words like com, comput,
          computer elctronic ..., you can see corresponding Chinese
          explanations or meaning of abriations.

PROGRAM: CDXQRY.EXE

DATABASE & INDEX FILES: A-WORD.DBS, .... Z-WORD.DBS
                        A-WORD.NDX, .... Z-WORD.DBS

INSTALLATION AND EXECUTION OF THE PROGRAMM:

    1. Make a diretory: CDX (MD CDX). Then copy all PART1.EXE, ... PART7.EXE
       to CDX.
    2. Change directory to CDX (CHDIR CDX). Run sequentially PART1.EXE till
       PART7.EXE. All of these are self-extracted files.
    3. After finishing above step 1 and 2, you will obtain all the program
       files, database files, and index files.
    4. Under the same diretory, type CDXQRY to begin the program.

NOTE:

    1. All the files have to be put under the same directory.
    2. It requires about 20 MB at your hard drive. When running self-extracted
       files, you need at least 500k RAM; otherwise "Not enough memory to run
       the program" message will appear.

> The following is my translation of READ.ME.

The ftp site is moers2.edu.tw [140.111.2.22].  The CDX is a
English-Chinese dictionary, which uses 26 DBASE III database files to
store data. It is only useful if you have a PC with a BIG5 chinese
system, and you really like/understand its strange tranlation (at least
for me).

I also found something insteresting in crl.nmsu.edu [128.123.1.14].

$$ eng-chi.b5              English-Chinese word list (~7700 Big5 entries)
$$ eng-chi.zip             MSDOS English->Chinese word lookup dictionary
$$                        (1988 Kwok-Leung Li; Chinese Service Center, NY)

However, I had no luck to unzip eng-chi.zip file. Anyone can help?
