About TDDT - Dictionary for Palm OS

TDDT is a dictionary application for Palm OS, developed by Hồ Ngọc Đức. Its main features are:

Fast and convenient word lookup
Dictionary data are compressed so that big databases fit in a low-memory PDA

Usage

To lookup a word, type its first characters to the text field. A list of close matches will appear. Tap a word in that list to view its definition. Use PAGE_UP and PAGE_DOWN to scroll the list of keywords.

Vietnamese words can be typed without diacritical marks: you can type "luat s" and the word "luật sư" appears in the list.

Using the menu bar:

Use File->Delete to delete the currently selected dictionary database. (Be careful!)
Use File->Exit to quit the program
Use the Font menu (Font->System, Font->dt_ucs13, ...) to select a font
Use the help menu (?->About ...) to view information about the program, the database, the device etc.

Installing on memory card

The dictionary databases can be installed on memory card. To enable this function, create a folder /Palm/TDDT on your memory card and put the dictionary PDB files (e.g., AnhViet75K.pdb, VietViet23K.pdb) in that folder.
