NAME

       wnnatod - Convert an EUC text dictionary to a binary dictionary

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/wnnatod [-s num] [-R] [-S] [-U] [-r] [-N] [-n] [-P filename] [-p filename] [-I] [-e] [-h filename] binary_dictionary_filename

DESCRIPTION

       wnnatod	reads  a  Japanese  EUC text dictionary from the standard input, converts it to a binary dictionary and writes it to the specified
       binary_dictionary_filename.

OPTIONS

       The following options are available.

       -s num	       Specifies the amount of memory to allocate (in words).  num should be a little over the number of words in the  dictionary.
		       Normally  you do not need to specify this option. The default is 70,000. If wnnatod fails, notifying memory shortage, retry
		       the command with -s option.

       -R	       Converts the EUC text dictionary to a reverse-searchable  binary dictionary (default).

       -S	       Converts the EUC text dictionary to a fixed-format dictionary.

       -U	       Converts the EUC text dictionary to an editable dictionary.

       -r	       Reverses the order of Kana and Kanji  when converting the EUC text dictionary.

       -N	       Sets the dictionary password to "*".

       -n	       Sets the frequency password to "*".

       -P filename     Specifies the file name of the dictionary password.

       -p filename     Specifies the file name of the frequency password.

       -I	       Creates a system dictionary.

       -e	       Registers an entry's reading (Hiragana) as word in the binary dictionary if the reading and the word are the same (that is,
		       the  word  consists  of	 only  Hiragana).   With this option, you cannot convert a text dictionary to a reverse-searchable
		       binary dictionary.

       -h filename     Specifies the file name that contains part of speech information.
