About Sdic Cocoa

I made 'Sdic.widget' as Konfabulator widget, but it works accurately only if your computer runs under Japanese environment. So, I made up my mind to make Sdic as native Mac OS X application.

Sdic Cocoa searches 'SDIC' formated dictionaries for word. So you must install these dictionaries in advance. Please refer this page to make (convert dictionaries from its proprietary format to SDIC format) and install these dictionaries.

Also, this application invokes perl script which needs some perl modules, for example, MIME::Base64 and/or Jcode perl modules. You must install these modules in advance. To install each module, please refer following section on this page.
