Pocket IME 2.0 provides a dictionary compiler that converts formatted text files into binary IME dictionary files. To create a dictionary file, you need to create a dictionary source file and then convert it to the Pocket IME dictionary file format.
The following dictionary compiler files are required to create an add-on dictionary:
- Make100.exe
- Maketrie.exe
- Disp100.exe
- Imejpps.dic
The compiler .exe files are located in %WINCEROOT%\Public\Common\Oak\Drivers\Imejpp\Dicmake\Bin and imejpps.dic is located in %WINCEROOT%\Public\Common\Oak\Files. In order to use the dictionary compiler, all four files must be located in the same folder, either by moving imejpps.dic to the same folder as the compiler .exe files, or by creating a new folder and moving all four files to it.
To convert a source file into a dictionary file, open a command prompt, and run the MAKE100.exe by specifying the path to the source as well as the source filename as shown in the following example.
MAKE100 [drive:][path]filename
MAKE100 addon.txt
MAKE100.exe creates the dictionary file in the folder from which the compiler is launched. MAKE100.exe removes the file extension from the name of the source file (.txt in the above example) and replaces it with the .dic extension to generate the dictionary file.
