small examples of .dct dictionaries

[Thomas Thurman]

Does anyone have a small (~10 entries) dictionary in .dct format I can use for unit testing? All the ones I have are huge.

(.dct is the one which is held in an Access file.)

This would be anyone using DigitalCAT.

Hi, Thomas.

Some years back, I found these:

Hope that helps ...!

Those are all great Glen, but I think Marn really needs dictionaries with less than a dozen entries.

Not sure if they are Access files, though, because of what I discovered when I was helping a CART provider whose dictionary suddenly decided to quit working:

.mdb is a pretty fragile format sometimes. The Python code I've written doesn't have dependencies on external Microsoft libraries, so it should be more forgiving. But we'll see.

I took that demo dictionary file, converted it into an .rtf file, and imported it into my old (really old) version of Eclipse (version 4 for the curious).

Unfortunately, I am far from an expert user, but I managed to back up the dictionary -- which somehow ended up inside a job dictionary, for some odd reason -- so now you have something else to work with ...

Hope that helps!
