But is "input engine" the right term for this? From your > description and the fact that it works with Egg, I'm guessing it's a > kanji conversion server, much like Canna or Wnn. Not a server. For each Emacs process, Egg spawns a different Mana process. Hence I call it an engine. For input methods, client/server models are out of favor today. Modern conversion engines (Anthy, Prime) are using the same configuration as Mana, or completely subsumed to applications (SKK, Sumibi). The one of the reason for client/server models is resource sharing. but Mana mmaps dictonary files, hence large amount of the memory is shared among Mana processes. >By the way, when you say it is more accurate than previously used >engines, are you referring to all of them (including, say, Wnn7) or >only the open source ones? Only the open source ones.
