Does anyone have an index file for OED2? (I have the CD, and was able
to strip out the data using tristan's utilities, but I'm not having much
luck generating the index file for use with dict.) Much thanks!

Which version do you have? Mine is from 1992.05.28 01:32. So I could
supply that one.

See /sys/src/cmd/dict/dict.c for the sort arguments, and my memory is
that mkindex puts the fields in reverse order too.

Yes, that's the very one :-) Your index should work.

I would very much appreciate it. How large is the file? Emailable?

I noted those, thanks. My trouble is building mkindex.c itself, I
gather this is supposed to be run against the oed2.dat file to generate
the index, but it is not clear to me what changes need to be made to
mkindex.c itself.
