I needed a russian-english dictionary. Having found one at www.rambler.ru,
here's what I did to make using it bearable.

	A /bin/rudict script:
#!/bin/rc
query=`{ascii -8 `{echo $1 | tcs -t cp1251} | sed 's/^/%/g' | tr -d \x0a | sed 's/.$//'}
hget 'http://www.rambler.ru/dict/scripts/go.cgi?query='   ^   $query   ^   '&where=ruen' \
| tcs -f cp1251  \
| htmlfmt -c utf8 \
| sed -n '/^1.*/,/О словаре/p' \
| sed '/Полностью...|О словаре/d'

	A plumbing rule:
# Russian text
type is text
data matches '[a-zA-Z¡-￿]+'
data matches '[Ё-ё]+'
plumb start show rudict $0

	Where /bin/show is:
#!/bin/rc
$1 $2 | plumb -i -d edit -a 'action=showdata filename='/$1/$2
